On matchday twenty-eight, following a 0–2 win away against Chieti, Venezia FC Femminile secures first place in Serie C’s Group B, claiming the title and earning promotion.
A milestone achieved at the end of a season dominated from start to finish, made possible by the hard work, unity, and determination of its players.
Grazia Trentin:
“The emotion is truly indescribable, because this team has rightfully earned its promotion to Serie B. Playing an entire season while maintaining the top position in the league is never a given. These girls have shown they are a real team, true Lionesses, overcoming difficult and challenging moments with great unity – especially at the beginning of 2025, when several injuries impacted us not only physically, but mentally as well.My first thought goes to our coach, Berta Prat Hernández. Over the past years, she has made an extraordinary journey, progressing from the youth teams to the first team with a modern and brave vision of the game. Entrusting her with the bench was a personal bet that has proven to be a winning one – and today, it is a source of great pride and satisfaction. I sincerely believe this promotion comes at the right time and is the result of hard work carried out with the utmost dedication; now we’re ready to embrace this new Serie B adventure with enthusiasm.A special thank you to all the staff, especially my right-hand man, Pierluigi Marazzato, and to my family, who never stopped supporting me, even in the most difficult moments. We now hope this is just the beginning of a new growth phase for the entire women’s division, with projects and initiatives tied to our territory – something we care deeply about, because we proudly represent the most beautiful city in the world.On a personal level, this is a huge satisfaction. I would like to thank the ownership and all the executives at Venezia FC, who strongly believed in the development of the women’s team and supported us every day. Reaching this milestone means entering, in every sense, the elite of Italian women’s football.”
Berta Prat Hernández:
"The emotions speak for themselves, I’m overjoyed. It’s been a beautiful journey, the girls have done everything and more – the courage they’ve shown, especially being so young, is indescribable. I’m very happy, they deserve this and more."
Alice Zuanti:
"I still haven’t fully processed it, I just finished crying — I’m truly, truly happy. For me, this is a dream come true, and achieving it with this team is the best thing that could have happened. I’ve dreamed of something like this since I was a child, and it’s an incredible milestone.It’s been a tough and challenging year, but we stayed strong from start to finish, never giving up even in the most difficult moments — and this proves that all sacrifices pay off.Thanks to Venezia FC, to the club, and above all to our staff, to Grazia and Pier who support us every single day, and to my teammates who are amazing and who I’ll carry in my heart forever."
