‘The future is female’: Claudia Rizzo flies flag for women in Italian football

Claudia Rizzo, at just 23 years old, has made history by becoming the first female president of Ternana Calcio, a Serie C club in Italy, in its hundred-year history. Rizzo aims to change the perception of women in football, asserting that they can offer unique perspectives and value in a traditionally male-dominated sport. Her appointment represents a significant step towards gender equality in football leadership, as she seeks to demonstrate that women can lead effectively in this field, just as they do in other areas.
