Earning the 2nd place at the Universities of Rome Championship, 2023-2024 season

JCU Women’s Soccer 5vs5 Team competes in the Universities of Rome Championship, which started in 2006.

In 2024, our Gladiators gained the 2nd place in the toughest and most challenging season.

In 2014/2015, our Gladiators won the Tournament and became the first American university to ever win it. In 2016/2017, JCU replicated the incredible feat by winning the title again for the second year. In 2017/2018, our ladies had to drop the Title in favor of the University of Foro Italico who won the Tournament, where JCU still earned a respectable second place.

In 2018, our goalkeeper Maria Vittoria Albezzano received the Best Goalkeeper Award for the Season. The same year, Maria Martynovych was awarded Most Valuable Player and Top Scorer.
