Competing against teams from seven European countries — including Spain, France, Great Britain, Germany and Ireland — the Italian girls finished fifth overall with two wins and two losses, marking an impressive debut on the international stage. Great Britain ultimately claimed the championship title.
But the adventure began even before the tournament kicked off.
On Sunday, Oct. 4, the girls attended the NFL regular-season game between the Washington Commanders and Indianapolis Colts at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Before kickoff, they had the incredible opportunity to line up near the players' tunnel and welcome both NFL teams onto the field. Later, during a third-quarter break, the Frogs' quarterback proudly carried the Italian flag onto the field as part of a special presentation celebrating the seven participating nations.
The following day, it was their turn to play on that same field. And another unforgettable surprise awaited them: the Italian team was assigned the very same locker room used by the Washington Commanders just 24 hours earlier, with their Italy uniforms waiting for them.
