Midfielder Federica D'Auria has extended her contract with Juventus Women until 2029. She expressed her happiness and readiness to contribute to the team, stating, "I am more aware and mature, I feel ready to give my contribution."

Federica D'Auria has renewed her contract with Juventus Women, committing to the club colors until 2029. She shared her feelings: "I am very emotional. My goal, ever since I was little, has always been to wear the First Team jersey. Returning here is truly wonderful for me; I feel it's home. I hope to repay the trust of the Director and the entire club."

The Right Maturity for the Return
"I believe these seasons have helped me grow immensely and gain the experience I needed to come back here, which has always been my ultimate goal. Today, I am more aware and mature as a player, and I feel ready to contribute to the team."

New Ideas and Energy in the Group
"There are inspiring ideas and the coach's imprint – regarding our style of play and the desire to always be protagonists – gives us great energy. I already knew many of the girls from the National team; with Schatzer, for example, we grew up together. But in general, I'm settling in very well. We are a great group that works very effectively."

Daily Growth and Goals
"For me, the priority is to grow day by day. I prefer to set daily goals rather than long-term ones. I want to do my best to be available to the group, learn from the great players here and from the coach. And to bring beautiful satisfaction to all of us this season."

Advice for Younger Players
"The advice I give is to respect your own timeline. When I was younger, I thought I had to make the jump from the Primavera immediately, but instead, I just needed my own path to mature and gain experience, which is what brought me here. The secret is to work hard, without ever stopping having fun."
