Odds stacked against BanyanaBanyana in tough Group G. ...We profile their pool rivals. Report: Sihle_NdebeleSK
Italy surprised many when they reached the last eight of the previous World Cup in France in 2019, where they were eliminated by the Netherlands. However, Le Azzurre seem to have declined a bit after crashing out of the Euros, hosted by England last year, at the first hurdle. They will be eager to prove a point in New Zealand and Australia.
With 25 goals at club level last season, Juventus striker Cristiana Girelli is one of the key figures of Italy. Girelli scored a hat-trick when Italy thumped Jamaica 5-0 in group stages in the previous World Cup in France and this means she has the pedigree at this level. Roma’s Valentina Giacinti is another player to watch, having scored 20 goals across all competitions last term. Italy are coached by Milena Bertolini, who has been in charge since 2017.
