Rome, Italy – Today, May 2nd, 2026, could be another historic day for AS Roma Women as they stand on the brink of securing their third consecutive Serie A Women Athora Scudetto. With a six-point lead over nearest rivals Inter and a favourable head-to-head record, a win against Ternana Women at the Tre Fontane stadium at 18:30 CEST (live on RaiSport, RaiPlay, and DAZN) would ensure the championship with two matches remaining.
Roma’s Dominance and Rossettini’s Impact
The Giallorosse, under the guidance of Luca Rossettini in his inaugural season as a women’s team coach, have had an extraordinary campaign. Rossettini is poised to etch his name into the club’s history alongside Alessandro Spugna, who led the team to their first two Scudetto titles. The team’s consistent performance has put them in a commanding position, and the home crowd at Tre Fontane is expected to be in full celebratory mood, ready to wave their tricolour flags.
Ternana Women, while not yet mathematically safe from relegation, hold a five-point advantage over bottom-placed Genoa. They will undoubtedly aim to spoil Roma’s party, but the odds are heavily stacked against them.
Crucial Matches Across the League
Beyond the title race, the penultimate round of the Serie A Women Athora features several other high-stakes encounters:
- Napoli Women vs Juventus (12:30 CEST): This match is a crucial Champions League playoff. Juventus, having abandoned their Scudetto defence, are now focused on securing a European spot. Napoli Women, a surprise package this season, are dreaming of an incredible European qualification, driven by goals from Cecilie Fløe. A win for Napoli would put their Champions League fate firmly in their own hands for the final two games.
- Inter vs Milan (18:30 CEST): The Milan derby kicks off simultaneously with the Roma match. Inter will be hoping for a positive result from Rome to keep their faint title hopes alive, while also aiming to repeat their 5-1 first-leg victory. Milan, on a five-game unbeaten run and having won their last two away matches, still harbour hopes of a Champions League spot, currently three points adrift of third and fourth place, who will have already faced each other in Naples.
- Genoa vs Sassuolo (15:00 CEST): Genoa has their last chance to remain in Serie A, needing a victory against Sassuolo to keep their survival hopes alive.
Sunday’s Fixtures
The round concludes on Sunday with two matches:
- Parma vs Lazio: Parma could be already safe by the time they play, depending on Genoa’s result. Lazio comes into this match following three consecutive defeats.
- Fiorentina vs Como Women: Both teams will be looking for three points to maintain their mid-table positions, despite being out of reach for a Champions League spot.
