If you ask any player on the Italian women’s national team about the future of the squad, they’re likely to tell you that the rest is still unwritten. The 2004 song “Unwritten” by pop artist Natasha Bedingfield, became something of an anthem and rallying cry for Le Azzurre during their Cinderella run at UEFA Women’s Euro 2025. They joyously sang together as a team after making it to the knockout rounds and keeper Laura Giuliani even sang a line or two during a post-game interview.
After a heartbreaking 2–1 loss to the defending Euro champions England in the semifinals, the lyrics of the song took on a new, but significant meaning for the Italians. As the squad regroups, hoping to build on this momentum and figure out what’s next, they are looking to write the rest of their story.
