A commanding centre back, Tona's powerful heading ability makes her an important attacking player for her teams.[4]

Club career

In summer 2003 Tona transferred from her first club ASD Fiammamonza to Torres Calcio Femminile.[5]

International career

Tona made her senior debut for the Italy women's national football team in June 2002, in a 6–0 friendly win over Yugoslavia.[6] She competed at UEFA Women's Euro 2005 in North West England and conceded a penalty kick in the Italians' 4–0 defeat to perennial champions Germany.[7]

At UEFA Women's Euro 2009 in Finland, Tona played in all four games as the Italians reached the quarter-finals. She had scored a hat-trick against Hungary during the qualification round.[8] National coach Antonio Cabrini named Tona in his selection for UEFA Women's Euro 2013 in Sweden,[9] but replaced her with Federica Di Criscio when she was injured on the eve of the tournament.[10]
