Starting from 2015, following the obligations established by the
FIGC for the teams participating in the men's
Serie A and
Serie B,[3]Genoa started its own women's football section.
Only the youth sector was active until 2018, when
Genoa acquired the
Lavagnese women's team that was competing in the
Serie B.[4] They got relegated to the
Eccellenza, the Italian fourth division, at the end of the
2018/19 season[5] and, in 2020, they got promoted back to the
Serie C.[6] After playing in the
women's third division for two seasons, they acquired the sporting title of the
women's Serie B from
Cortefranca in the summer of 2022 and with it the right to register for
Serie B 2022/23.[7]
