Three wins from three for Italy's Women's Futsal National Team, who continued their perfect run in Group A of the Futsal Week tournament in Porec, Croatia.
The Azzurre swept aside Czechia 6-1 to complete a hat-trick of victories following their wins over Serbia (19-1) and Morocco (6-1). Thanks to this latest success, Italy advance to the final, where they will meet either Croatia or Poland, who face each other at 18:15. The championship match, a title Italy previously won in 2019 and 2024, will be played on Sunday 21 June at 18:15.


The 6-1 victory over Czechia was built on another explosive start. Mansueto opened the scoring in the 6th minute before Ferrara, Grieco and Adamatti struck between the 9th and 13th minutes to put Italy 4-0 ahead. Three minutes before half-time, Mansueto found the net again to make it 5-0. After Spickova pulled one back in the 11th minute of the second half, Adamatti completed the scoring in the final minute to seal a convincing 6-1 win.
SALVATORE
Following Italy's third victory in as many matches, Head Coach Francesca Salvatore reflected on the team's performance:
"We achieved our objective of reaching the final in a tournament that we're using to train and continue our development. Every match provides valuable lessons depending on the quality of the opposition.
"Czechia are a more physical side than Serbia and Morocco, and their only sporadic chances came when defending against the flying goalkeeper. We were always in control and did well to put the game beyond reach in the first half.
"We're a well-prepared team, focused and fully aware of what we want to do. Up to now the signs have been very positive, regardless of the results."
