History
[edit] | This section needs additional citations for verification. (December 2018) |
Founded in 1969 as Olimpic Lazio, in 1975, the team became a section of S.S. Lazio multi-sport club.[citation needed]
Consistently finishing in the top four positions through the 1970s, Lazio seemed to emerge as a powerhouse in the last years or the decade winning the Coppa Italia in 1978 and its two first national championships in 1979 and 1980. The second half of the 1980s was also successful, with two further championships (1987, 1988) and cups, including a double in 1987.
Lazio declined throughout the 1990s and narrowly avoided relegation in 1997. However, after changing their name from S.S. Lazio Calcio Femminile to S.S. Ruco Line Lazio Calcio Femminile in 1999, they rose back to win their fifth national championship in the 2001-02 season (plus two additional Cups).
At the end of the season, they were renamed as S.S. Enterprise Lazio Calcio Femminile but this lasted just one season before switching to A.D. Decimum Lazio Femminile in 2003.
In 2006, the team was renamed from A.D. Decimum Lazio Femminile to S.S. Lazio Calcio Femminile.[2] By 2009 they were back in the top flight; despite finishing midtable in 2010, in 2011 the team avoided relegation by just one point.[3]
In September 2015, S.S. Lazio Women 2015 a r.l. was incorporated as a società a responsabilità limitata.[4] This new women's team was a wholly owned subsidiary of the professional male football club S.S. Lazio S.p.A. which originated from but was not owned by S.S. Lazio multi-sport club. They took S.S. Lazio Calcio Femminile's spot in Serie B (who were the original S.S. Lazio women's team).[5]
They finished seventh in their first (2015-16) and second (2016-17) seasons in Group D of Serie B. In 2017-18 they finished second, just 7 points away from first place Roma Calcio Femminile. In 2018-19, the format of Italian football for women was changed. 12 teams composed the league and Lazio Women finished in eighth.
In 2019-20, the season was suspended due to COVID-19. Despite having more points than third place San Marino Academy, because of the formula that was used to calculate each club's final position, they were promoted to Serie A instead of Lazio Women.
In 2020-21, Lazio Women dominated the league and finished in first place to secure promotion to Serie A for the first time. Ashraf Seleman was in charge from rounds 1-14 but was replaced by Carolina Morace on December 31, 2021 and she led the squad for the remainder of the season.[6]
In October 2021, Carolina Morace was dismissed and replaced by Massimiliano Catini.[7][8]
