History edit

Res Roma competed in the Serie A since 2003 but chose to hand over their competition license at the end of the 2017–18 Serie A season, allowing A.S. Roma to take over the license and begin life as a club in the top tier.[3] The team's best finish in Serie A is 1st place, achieved in the 2022–23 Season.[4]

The club conquered its first major trophy in the 2020-21 season when Roma won the 2021 Coppa Italia.[5] Betty Bavagnoli worked as the club's head coach during the first three seasons of A.S. Roma's existence, later taking up the job of Head of Women's Football at the club.[6] She was succeeded as head coach of the Roma senior squad by Alessandro Spugna.[6] The club's first-ever captain is Italian and Roman defender Elisa Bartoli.[7] Roma played the 2021–22 Coppa Italia [it] final on 22 May 2022, losing to Juventus for 2–1.[8][9]

Roma won its first Serie A title on April 29, 2023, after a 2–1 victory over Fiorentina.
