History
Res Roma competed in the Serie A since 2003 but chose to hand over their competition license at the end of the 2017-18 Serie A season, allowing A.S. Roma to take over the license and begin life as a club in the top tier.[2] The team's best finish in Serie A is 4th place, achieved in both the 2018–19 Season and 2019–20 Season.
The club conquered its first major trophy in the 2020-21 season when Roma won the 2021 Coppa Italia.[3] Betty Bavagnoli worked as the club's head coach during the first three seasons of A.S. Roma's existence, later taking up the job of Head of Women's Football at the club.[4] She was succeeded as head coach of the Roma senior squad by Alessandro Spugna.[4] The club's first-ever captain is Italian and Roman defender Elisa Bartoli.[5]
