Football Club Internazionale Milano S.p.A., also known as Inter or with the commercial name of Inter Women,[4] is an Italian women's football club based in Milan.
History
[edit]Before the 2018–19 season, Inter only had women's youth teams.[5] On 23 October 2018, the club acquired the sporting rights from A.S.D. Femminile Inter Milano, creating its first senior women's team in over a century.[4]
In Inter's first season in 2018–19 Serie B, Inter earned promotion to Serie A[6] finishing with 64 points from 21 wins and just one draw.[7]
In November 2023, the team moved to the historic Arena Civica, previously home of the men's team from 1930 to 1947.[8]
On 19 April 2025, Inter qualified for the UEFA Champions League for the 2025-2026 season for the first time, defeating Roma 3–0 at the Arena Civica with goals from Elisa Polli and Elisa Bartoli.
On September 2, 2026, Inter faced the VfL Wolfsburg women's team in the UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying round. They won the return leg at the Ernesto Breda Stadium 3–1 in regulation time with goals from Elisa Bartoli, Elisa Polli, and Marija Ana Milinković, and triumphed 5–4 on penalties, with Spaniard Ivana Andrés scoring the decisive spot-kick to secure a place in the 2025/2026 league phase.[9]
In a historic moment on September 22, the Inter Milan Women team made their Champions League debut by defeating BK Häcken 1–0 at the Brianteo Stadium in Monza; Maltese player Haley Bugeja scored the goal, marking the team's first-ever goal in the 2026/2027 league phase.
