ACF Fiorentina Femminile-What to know!

[MediacomErin]

Welcome to our ACF Fiorentina Women's team thread! We will post game schedules, highlights, player profiles, and anything else your soccer loving hearts could desire! Here is a little back story about the organization to start off! 

ACF Fiorentina is a European soccer team based out of Tuscany, Italy. The organization was purchased in 2019 by Mediacom CEO, Rocco Commisso. The organization contains both a men and women's' team that are currently ranked 4th(men's team) and 3rd (women's team)in Serie A for their divisions and are playing in the Coppa Italia Quarter Finals.  

The organizations motto is PLAY TO BE DIFFERENT. This is the slogan that will accompany the club's communications – an invitation to seek out an individual, authentic way of seeing and playing football. To be different, alternative, proud of our diversity. 

It's time for a fun fact about the team! 

Originally home shirts were half red and white, while shorts and socks black. In 1929, a mistake during the washing of a set jerseys given to Fiorentina by Colligiana meant the red dye ran into the white, creating a shade of purple. The color was so well liked by fans, it became the official team color! 

Make sure you stop by after each game for highlights and a player profile as well as information on upcoming matches! You can also check out the team's website as well at https://www.acffiorentina.com/en/news/all/latest

Hello soccer fans! 

Our girls squared up with Juventus on March 30th and honestly it was a bit rough on our girls in purple. Juventus struck with the first goal from midfielder Julia Grosso just 10 minutes into the game. Juventus swiftly scored again courtesy of midfielder Jennifer Echegini at minute 13, bringing the score to 2-0 Juventus. That was all the action we saw in the first half as well. Shortly after the second half kicked off, we saw a 3rd goal from Juventus from midfielder Jennifer Echegini as well as a fourth goal at minute 66. At minute 69, we see the first yellow card of the game on Fiorentina midfielder Miriam Chirara Longo. At minute 88, we see Juventus's first yellow card of the game on striker Barbara Bonansea. At the clock hits zero, the final score is 4-0 Juventus.
