The Fiorentina Women's Football Club, also known as the Fiorentina Women's FC, is an Italian women's association football club based in Florence, Italy and division of the homonymous professional football club ACF Fiorentina. It was founded in 2015 when ACF Fiorentina acquired the Serie A license from A.C.F. Firenze.[1][2] Upon its foundation, Fiorentina Women's FC became the first ever professionally affiliated women's football club in the history of Italy.[3][4][5][6] [7] The team competes in Serie A.

Only two years after their upstart in the 2016-2017 season, the Fiorentina Women's Football Club won both the Serie A Championship and the Coppa Italia Championship. This was the first Tricolore for the club ACF Fiorentina since May 6, 1969 and it is the first Serie A championship won by ACF Fiorentina's current owner Andre Delle Valle. On June 17, 2017, the club ACF Fiorentina won its first doublet since 1926 when the Fiorentina Women's FC won the Coppa Italia.[8] The Fiorentina Women's FC for the second consecutive year became the Coppa Italia title holders for their 3-1 win over Brescia. [9] The Fiorentina Women's FC qualified to participate in the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 UEFA Champion's League competitions.[10][11][12]

The first President of the Fiorentina Women's FC is Sandro Mencucci, who also serves as CEO of the ACF Fiorentina.[13][14] [15]
