The main theme I will address in this research is 'the youth women's sector in Italy,' which, thanks to the reform imposed by the FIGC, has mandated major Serie A and Serie B clubs since 2015 and Lega Pro clubs since 2018 to invest in women's football, especially in the youth women's sector. This sector has been experiencing exponential growth in the last decade, as demonstrated within the study. Following this, there will be a comparison between the youth women's sector in Italy and youth sectors in Europe, including Spain, England, and Germany, as well as globally, specifically in the United States, where they too are increasingly growing. I conducted an in-depth study to assess the current status of youth women's sectors, and for the purpose of comprehensive research, I conducted a series of interviews, analyzing the youth women's sector in the surrounding area, engaging with various football entities, with the valuable contributions of two club executives from important clubs in the Pavia area. The obtained results highlight significant changes that have occurred in recent years, leading women's football to become a professional sport in 2022. The purpose of this study is to fully understand the current situation of this sector and explore future developments on how it can be structured going forward, thanks to the commitment and funding being invested by various football organizations
La tematica principale che affronterò in questa ricerca è "il settore giovanile femminile in Italia", che grazie alla riforma imposta dalla FIGC, obbliga dal 2015 i grandi club di serie A e serie B e dal 2018 i club di Lega Pro ad investire nel calcio femminile, ma soprattutto ad investire nel settore giovanile femminile, che nell’ultimo decennio sta crescendo in maniera esponenziale come dimostratovi all’interno dello studio. A seguire, ci sarà un confronto tra il settore giovanile femminile in Italia e i settori giovanili d'Europa, tra cui Spagna, Inghilterra e Germania, e nel mondo, nello specifico negli Stati Uniti, anch'essi sempre più in crescita. Ho condotto uno studio approfondito per valutare lo status dei settori giovani femminili al momento, e a scopo di ricerca approfondita, ho condotto una serie di interviste, analizzando il settore giovanile femminile del territorio circostante, confrontandomi con diverse realtà calcistiche, grazie al contributo di due responsabili di club importanti nel territorio pavese. I risultati ottenuti evidenziano variazioni significative avvenute negli ultimi anni, le quali hanno portato il calcio femminile nel 2022 a diventare uno sport professionistico. Il fine di questo studio è quello di comprendere a pieno la situazione in cui si trova al momento questo settore, e sviluppi futuri su come potrà essere strutturato in avanti grazie all’impegno ed ai fondi che stanno investendo le varie società calcistiche

Abstract
The main theme I will address in this research is 'the youth women's sector in Italy,' which, thanks to the reform imposed by the FIGC, has mandated major Serie A and Serie B clubs since 2015 and Lega Pro clubs since 2018 to invest in women's football, especially in the youth women's sector. This sector has been experiencing exponential growth in the last decade, as demonstrated within the study. Following this, there will be a comparison between the youth women's sector in Italy and youth sectors in Europe, including Spain, England, and Germany, as well as globally, specifically in the United States, where they too are increasingly growing. I conducted an in-depth study to assess the current status of youth women's sectors, and for the purpose of comprehensive research, I conducted a series of interviews, analyzing the youth women's sector in the surrounding area, engaging with various football entities, with the valuable contributions of two club executives from important clubs in the Pavia area. The obtained results highlight significant changes that have occurred in recent years, leading women's football to become a professional sport in 2022.
