Women's sides: 2025/26 season at the start

The Women's program is officially kicking off the new season. As tradition has it, the W-U17s were the first to gather, meeting on Saturday morning for their maiden training session at the Brembate Municipal Sports Centre, bound to be hosting not only the women's teams but also the Peewee sides and pre-competitive sector.

"This season as well - explained Women's Program Coordinator Stefano Cambiaghi - we'll be counting on six teams: from the W-U17s, who have already started training, down to the W-U11s, for a total of 110 players born between 2009 and 2017. Thanks to the support from the Municipality of Brembate, all our teams will be given the opportunity to train and work in a cutting-edge facility which will serve as our new headquarters, complete with dedicated spaces for administration, managed by David Colciaghi, and for medical care. For this special thanks go first and foremost to the Percassi family, as well as to Director General for Corporate Affairs Andrea Fabris and Youth Sector Director Roberto Samaden, who worked tirelessly on the organizational and logistical side to provide us with this venue where our girls can grow in the best possible way while remaining close to our base in Zingonia. Fostering and nurturing our players remains on top of our priority list, while at team level we strive to always keep improving. All this while remaining rooted firmly in our territory, with a strong Bergamasco core".

Then, Cambiaghi (pictured below) laid out what's in the offing for the teams: "The next outfit to begin preparations will be the W-U15s, on Sunday, ahead of their first test at the Quarenghi Cup in San Pellegrino Terme on August 27. The W-U17s meanwhile will be taking part on August 31 in the traditional "Le Rose del Moscato" tournament in Scanzorosciate. Between the end of August and the beginning of September, both the U14s and the U13 will get training going before heading to Brentonico (Trentino-Alto Adige) for a training camp from September 3 to 6."

So, a look at the leagues' makeup: "Drafted in Group A and C respectively, both the W-U17s and the W-U15s will take part in the first of the M-U14s' provincial championship, to kick off on September 21 and with the boys' team instead placed in Group D. The W-U17s are already qualified for the women's interregional phase, while the W-U15s will need to go through the playoffs first. Since this stage will be played 11-a-side from this year, we decided to enter in the same category as the more seasoned team from the get-go, to get the latter used to playing 11-a-side straight away. The W-14s will compete in the under-age women's regional league. All other championship will begin on October 4: in addition to competing in the boys' 'Esordienti 1° anno' provincial championship, the W-13s will partake ion the Danone Cup at national level, while the W-U12s side has been enrolled in the under-age women’s regional league, and finally, the W-U11s will play in a "Pulcini" boys’ 7-a-side provincial championship".

Both the W-U17s and the W-U15s will take part in the first phase of the M-U14s' provicnial championship, drafted in Group A and C respectively. While the W-U17s are already qualified for the women's interregional phase, the W-U15s will have to go through the playoffs. And since this stage will now be played 11-a-side, we decided to register them in the same same category as the older girls right from the first phase, so they could immediately start playing 11-a-side football.
