Giada Abate (born 6 March 2003) is an Italian footballer who plays as a midfielder for and captains Serie A Women club Genoa.[4]
Abate has been playing for Genoa since the creation of the senior women's football team in 2019.[5] She was always the captain.[6]
In 2019/20, Genoa played in Serie D because they didn't sign up for the Italian Serie C. Here Genoa won 10 matches out of 10 before the tournament was stopped due to the COVID-19 pandemic and they were automatically promoted, without having played the 4 remaining matches.[7]
In the 2020/21 and 2021/22 season, Giada played in Serie C, making 52 appearances and scoring 5 goals,[8][9] then Genoa acquired the sporting title of the women's Serie B team Cortefranca in the summer of 2022 and obtained with it the right to register for Serie B 2022/23, where Giada played in 20 matches from October 2022 until March 2023.[10][11] On 12 March 2023, in a game against Lazio, Giada got a cruciate ligament injury.
She didn't play for 371 days, until her comeback on 17 March 2024 when she came off the bench in a 4-1 win over Tavagnacco.
