National coach Antonio Cabrini omitted Di Criscio from his selection for UEFA Women's Euro 2013,[2] but called her into the squad when Elisabetta Tona was injured on the eve of the tournament.[3]

Di Criscio made her first major tournament appearance when playing the last 21 minutes of Italy's quarter-final defeat to Germany.[4]
