Unione Sportiva Sassuolo Calcio Femminile is a women's football club based in Sassuolo, a town in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy. The club traces its roots to A.S.D. Reggiana Calcio Femminile, which began operating under the crest and name of the professional men's club US Sassuolo in 2016 through a sponsorship and licensing arrangement. A formal name change to A.S.D. Sassuolo Calcio Femminile followed in 2017, and in 2019 the club's sport title was officially transferred to US Sassuolo Calcio, fully integrating the women's side into the broader Sassuolo football structure.
The club competes in Serie A, Italy's top tier of women's football, representing a region with a long tradition in the sport. Its identity is closely tied to the black and green colours of the men's club, which became the permanent home kit colours from 2019 onward; prior to that, from 2016 to 2019, the team wore azure. This shift in colours reflected the deepening institutional bond with the parent club and gave the women's team a recognisable visual identity shared with its professional counterpart.
As a club that grew out of a licensing arrangement rather than a purely independent foundation, Sassuolo Femminile represents a model increasingly common in Italian football, where professional men's clubs extend their structures to support competitive women's teams. The club has continued to develop its squad at the top level of the Italian women's game, with its fortunes closely linked to the broader ambitions of US Sassuolo as an institution.
