Pomigliano Calcio Femminile, also known as Pomigliano, is an Italian women's association football club based in Pomigliano d'Arco, within Metropolitan City of Naples. It was founded in June 2019 and secured two successive promotions in its first two seasons, to enter Serie A in 2021.

History

In June 2019, Raffaele Pipola the President of ASDC Pomigliano, a club in the men's Serie D, formed a women's section for the club by buying out an existing team called Vapa Virtus Napoli.[2] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy, their debut 2019–20 season was stopped early and since Pomigliano were leading their regional Serie C section they were promoted to Serie B.[3] In 2020–21 they finished in second place behind Lazio to claim their second successive promotion, into the top tier Serie A.[4]

Former Italy women's national football team player Manuela Tesse was the coach who secured the second promotion, but she was fired three games into the 2021–22 Serie A season.[5] The season was concluded in eight place, securing the spot in Serie A. In 2022–23 Serie A season Pomigliano CF finished in ninth position, entering the play-off against Lazio, which finished in second position in Serie B. Pomigliano won the play-off and maintained its spot in Serie A.[6] Despite their efforts, Pomigliano faced relegation following their 2023-24 campaign which saw them finish last in Serie A with 12 points.
