The Azzurre lent their support to Malika Chalhy during today’s match. Chalhy is a 22-year-old Italian woman who was kicked out of her house and even threatened by her own family for coming out as a lesbian. Elena Linari, Barbara Facchetti (team manager), and CT Milena Bertolini all expressed their support for Malika before and after this match. It's nice to see both the team and their staff lend their support to someone in need. You can read more about Chalhy's story here.
