20 February 2024
After a 4-1 win allowed Juventus Women to close the Serie A regular season on a positive note and with the Italian Cup semi-final against Fiorentina to come, many of our Bianconere are setting off on international duty for this February window.
In all, 19 Juventus Women players will be in international action over the coming weeks.
Below is each player called up and their games.
Juventus Women's February 2024 international call-ups
Italy - Eight players (Lisa Boattin, Barbara Bonansea, Sofia Cantore, Arianna Caruso, Sara Gama, Cristiana Girelli, Martina Lenzini, Cecilia Salvai): The Azzurre will face two friendlies this window, first hosting Ireland at Viola Park in what will be Sara Gama's final Italy game, then heading off to Spain to take on England.
France - Two players (Pauline Peyraud-Magnin, Estelle Cascarino): Pauline and Estelle will have the Final Four of the Nations League keeping them busy this month, with France taking on Germany and then a potential final.
Netherlands - Lineth Beerensteyn: A similar situation awaits Lineth as she will compete in the Nations League's Final Four. The Dutch will face Spain in the semi-finals, then hoping to meet either France or Germany in the final.
Canada - Julia Grosso: Julia's situation is a little different as she and Canada compete in the Women's Gold Cup. She will have three group games against El Salvador, Paraguay and Costa Rica for certain, before then potentially going on to the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final. The tournament runs until March 11, meaning she could be involved in the Gold Cup until after Juventus' two Italian Cup semi-finals.
Switzerland - Viola Calligaris: Switzerland face a double friendly against Poland this international window, with both games to take place in Spain.
Nigeria - Joe Echegini: Nigeria have two big games on their hands this month, facing Cameroon in the third round of Olympic Games qualification. They have a two-legged tie to win qualification for the Olympic Games.
Sweden U23s - Paulina Nystrom: Pao will meet her Swedish U23 teammates in Spain, where they will take on Denmark in a friendly.
Bosnia and Herzegovina - Gloria Sliskovic: Gloria and her international teammates are tasked with a UEFA Women's Nations League date with Sweden, hoping to earn promotion to League A.
Italy U23s - Two players - Roberta Aprile, Asia Bragonzi: Italy's U23s face a friendly away to Portugal, with just one fixture this international window. They will then return to Vinovo and turn their focus towards the Bianconere's two-legged Italian Cup semi-final against Fiorentina.
Sweden U19s - Elsa Pelgander: Elsa and Sweden's U19s face two friendlies, which are again being played in Spain. They take on Denmark and then France.
