 “Representing Italy and Europe alongside Tottenham is a source of pride for us.
“The Women’s Cup represents an extraordinary moment of encounter and confrontation for clubs from different continents — a strategic event that allows us to continue our development as a team on and off the pitch. We have one goal: the global growth of women’s football.”
