FC Como Women (FCCW), part of the Multi Club ownership Mercury 13, secured third place in the tournament following an exciting semifinal against Atlético Madrid that ended 1 – 0 in favor of the FC Como Women team.
Stefano Sottili’s side claimed victory thanks to a curling shot from Nischler (MVP Tournament) at the edge of the box in the 54th minute, securing third place in the special Milan edition of The Women’s Cup, held at the Arena Civica.The Women’s Cup Milan 2025 was much more than just a competition for F.C. Como Women.
It was an opportunity to experience meaningful moments both on and off the pitch, and to further solidify the identity of a club in full evolution.
Adding even more symbolism to the event was the official debut of the new Nike 2025/26 kits, unveiled just a few days earlier through the The Next Wave campaign. A look that speaks of identity, ambition, and vision for the future — introduced in the most fitting setting: a high-profile international showcase.
On the field, the tournament also marked the long-awaited debut of Alisha Lehmann in a Como Women shirt — a particularly emotional moment, as it came against her former team, Juventus. Alongside her, Matilde Pavan also made her return to the pitch, having just rejoined Como on loan from the Bianconere. Two different stories, but both full of meaning, adding further depth and emotion to the tournament.
From a sporting perspective, the outcome was extremely positive, as confirmed by team captain Giulia Rizzon:
“This tournament was an important opportunity for us to face top-level teams. We know Juventus well from the league — a solid side with extraordinary individual talent. Atlético Madrid, on the other hand, was a real international test that challenged us in different ways. Taking part in this event allowed us to raise our level and prepare in the best possible way for the official start of the season.”

“I’ve been to more matches than I can count, but The Women’s Cup Special Edition with Mercury13 was the first time I felt completely at ease. Witnessing the outstanding talent and determination of the women players on the pitch was truly inspiring – these athletes showcased skill, passion, and drive that left a lasting impression. They’re ready to *take on the world* this upcoming season, and it was amazing to see them push themselves to new heights in this tournament. The Ibiza-inspired music, free-flowing drinks, great food, and comfortable couches set a new standard — all while being steps from the action and celebrating with players after the final whistle. Sharing it with my 2-year-old daughter, both of us in ‘summer white,’ made it unforgettable. Once again, Mercury13 & TWC is in pole position, proving what’s possible for the future of the women’s game.”— Victoire Cogevina, Co Ceo and Co Founder of Mercury 13.
