Società Sportiva Lazio Calcio Femminile is an Italian women's football team representing S.S. Lazio in Serie A Femminile. Founded in 1968 as Lazio 2000, the following year it played the second edition of Serie A. In 1975 it became a section of S.S. Lazio. With five national championships, it is as of 2011 the most successful Italian club pair with Torres CF.[1]
Installed through the 70s in the top four positions, Lazio seemed to emerge as a powerhouse in the last years or the decade, winning the Coppa Italia in 1978 and its two first national championships in 1979 and 1980. The second half of the 80s was also successful, with two further championships (1987, 1988) and cups, including a double in 1987.
Lazio declined throughout the 90s and narrowly avoided relegation in 1997, but rose back in the late 90s to win its fifth national championship in 2002 plus two further Cups. Such resurgence was shortlived and Lazio faced its worst crisis yet between 2004 and 2006, ending in Serie B (the league's third level) after two relegations in a row. However, by 2009 it was back in top flight.
In 2010 Lazio ended in mid table, while in 2011 the team avoided relegation by just one point.[2]
