The 2025 edition of the Women's Six
Nations rugby championship kicks off on March 22 and the Italian
women's national team will make its debut on Sunday 23 in York,
on the pitch of England, the reigning champions.
The Italian Rugby Federation (FIR) top brass, the technical
staff and the players were guests at the Macron Campus in
Bologna, home of the brand that has been a technical partner of
the FIR since 2017, to present the path that captain Elisa
Giordano and her teammates will face starting next weekend.
The presentation of the Women's Six Nations took place in the
'Sala dei Sogni' of the Macron Campus: among those present were
Antonella Gualandri, vice-president of the FIR, Fabio Roselli,
coach of the national team, Sofia Stefan, vice-captain of the
Azzurre, Giammaria Manghi, coordinator of Sports Policies of the
Emilia-Romagna Region and the 'host' Gianluca Pavanello, CEO of
Macron.
The Women's Six Nations will receive significant television
coverage this year: in addition to the presence of Sky, all the
matches of the Italian women's team will also be simulcast live
and free-to-air on Rai state broadcaster channels.
"We can't wait to cheer on our women's national team in this Six
Nations - said FIR vice president Antonella Gualandri -.
The Azzurre are working hard to get there at their best and to excite us.
Thanks to Macron for hosting this launch event and
for all the support. We are happy to be able to present the 2025
edition of the Six Nations in Emilia-Romagna, not far from
Parma, where Italy plays its home games, a sign of strategic
collaboration, in line with the federal projects. In an
important year like this, which for the Azzurre will also lead
to the World Cup, this takes on even more meaning".
The women's national rugby team, after the debut against
England, number one in the world ranking, will host Ireland at
the Lanfranchi Stadium in Parma (March 30, 4 pm).
On April 13, Scotland-Italy will take place at the Hive Stadium
in Edinburgh, then in Parma, six days later, the Azzurre will
host France.
Always at the Emilian stadium on Saturday 26 April, the last
match of the tournament will be against Wales.
