Giada Abate (born 6 March 2003) is an Italian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Genoa Women in the Italian Serie B.
Club career[edit]
Abate has been playing for Genoa since the creation of the senior women's football team in 2019.[4] She was always the captain.[5]
In 2019/20, Genoa played in Serie D because they didn't sign up for the Italian Serie C. Here Genoa won 10 matches out of 10 before the tournament was stopped due to the COVID-19 pandemic and they were automatically promoted, without having played the 4 remaining matches.[6]
In the 2020/21 and 2021/22 season, Giada played in Serie C, making 52 appearances and scoring 5 goals,[7][8] then Genoa acquired the sporting title of the women's Serie B team Cortefranca in the summer of 2022 and obtained with it the right to register for Serie B 2022/23, where Giada played in 20 matches from October 2022 until March 2023.[9][10] On 12 March 2023, in a game against Lazio, Giada got a cruciate ligament injury.
She didn't play for 371 days, until her comeback on 17 March 2024 when she came off the bench in a 4-1 win over Tavagnacco.
International career[edit]
Giada has represented Italy in all youth levels. In 2018, she played her first 9 friendly matches with the U16s (four of them at "Torneo delle Nazioni" in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, where Italy finished 4th) and in 2019 she made 6 more appearances for them (four of them at "Torneo delle Nazioni", where Giada became captain against Macedonia and scored her only goal with the national team).
In summer 2019, Abate played for the U17s, debuting in two friendly matches against Serbia and then playing in three more matches at the 2020 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship qualification, before it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[11][12]
