Beatrice Beretta

Beatrice's passion for football began by watching her older brother play, and she initially played in every position before eventually discovering her calling as a goalkeeper.

Before joining women's football, she spent years playing exclusively with boys at Gattinara and Borgosesia, helping shape her competitive mentality.

She described goalkeeping as "a slightly crazy position" that requires courage, responsibility and powerful legs, embracing the unique demands of the role.

After progressing through Juventus' academy, she continued her development with consecutive loan spells at Tavagnacco, Como Women and Napoli Women to gain senior experience.

Among men's goalkeepers, she grew up admiring Gianluigi Buffon, while she has also cited Iker Casillas, Manuel Neuer and Marc-André ter Stegen as players she studied because of their different styles.

On the women's side, she has named Francesca Durante and Laura Giuliani as her biggest Italian role models, while also praising Lize Kop (Netherlands) and Nicky Evrard (Belgium) for their performances at UEFA Women's EURO 2022.

Beatrice earned a Bachelor's degree, specialization in Sports Management.
