Career

[edit]

Alessandra Massa has been having a passion for football since she was a child, starting playing in Camogli. Since her childhood she was a Genoa CFC fan.[3]

She grew up as a footballer in the youth ranks of Genoa Cricket & F. C., until she reached Genoa first squad, in 2019.[4] Since that Giada Abate was busy with U16 Italian National team, Massa became the first Genoa player to wear captain's armband in the club history, during Coppa Italia Eccellenza.

In March 2019 Genoa female youth club subscribed to Torneo di Viareggio, one of the most important youth football tournaments in the world, that finally admitted female club. Here Alessandra Massa played all three matches of the group stage with Genoa, until Genoa got eliminated subsequently to two defeats (against Fiorentina and Inter) and one victory (against Spezia).[5]

During her first season in Genoa senior team, she scored 11 goals in Eccellenza 2019/2020, becoming the second best scorer of the team, after Giulia Parodi. Genoa will win the stage, obtaining 10 wins out of 10, getting promoted in Serie C.[6]

In February 2020 Genoa played again the Torneo di Viareggio, defeating Westchester 2-0, drawing 2-2 with Fiorentina and drawing 1-1 with Sassuolo.[7] Then Genoa got eliminated by Roma in the semifinal.[8] At the end of the tournament Alessandra Massa got nominated in the top 11 of the edition.[9]

At the end of the season she moved on loan to AS Roma, a Serie A team with whom Massa made an only cap in senior squad in Coppa Italia 2020/2021, scoring a goal during the group stage. The team will win the tournament at the end of the year.[10] With Roma youth team Alessandra Massa won two national titles, winning the final for the Scudetto in 2020 (postponed due to covid) and then winning again the championship in 2021.[11]

In the 2021/2022 season Massa came back in Serie B, playing a season for San Marino Academy and scoring 4 goals in 26 appearances (the most capped player of the team in that season), then she moved to ChievoVerona Women, again in the second level of italian female football, scoring 4 goals in 17 caps. Both the experiences were on loan from Genoa Women.[12]

In the summer of 2023 Massa returned in Genoa, playing 17 matches and scoring 3 goals before a serious injury to the cruciate ligament, happened on April 2024.[13]
