Football Club Internazionale Milano S.p.A., also known as Inter or with the commercial name of Inter Women,[4] is an Italian women's football club based in Milan.

History

Before the 2018–19 season, Inter only had women's youth teams.[5] On 23 October 2018, the club acquired the sporting rights from A.S.D. Femminile Inter Milano [it].[4]

In Inter's first season in 2018–19 Serie B [it], Inter won promotion to Serie A[6] thanks to an almost-perfect season with 64 points coming from 21 wins and just one draw.[7]

Inter moved to the historic Arena Civica in November 2023. The stadium was previously the home of the men's team from 1930 to 1947.[8]

On 19 April 2025, Inter qualified for the Champions League for the 2025-2026 season for the first time in their history, beating Roma 3–0 at the Arena Civica with goals from Elisa Polli and Elisa Bartoli.
