COMO, Aug. 16, 2024 - FC Como Women is pleased to announce the arrival of three more new players, thus giving continuity to the team's strengthening campaign ahead of next season: Elisa Del Estal Mateu, Nadine Nischler and Agnete Marcussen. 

Thus, our project of improving the quality of the roster does not stop, which thanks to the national and international experience of the new players has become more competitive, as is also evident from the words of DS Miro Keci: “Our goal is to do better than last season. We want to try to annoy the top teams in the league, and I believe that with the arrival of Stefano Sottili and the new players we will take some satisfaction.”

“I think we can be a great group and get good results in this league,” the first words as a Como Women player from Elisa Del Estal to which are added those of Nadine Nischler who speaks of a ”perfect environment for her personal growth.” Positivity and enthusiasm also emerge in the words of Agnete Marcussen, who is making her debut in Serie A:

“I found a group of girls with an international flair who immediately put me at ease, reserving for me a warm welcome.” 

Elisa Del Estal Mateu, a Spanish forward born in 1993, has signed with the club until June 30, 2025 following the natural expiration of her contract with Napoli. Growing up footballingly in Reocìn and Albacete, she landed in 2017 at Espanyol where she made her mark as one of the best scorers in the league and being awarded MVP on several occasions. She later leaves Spain to wear the Hyundai Red Angels jersey in South Korea with which she won the championship. She returned to Spain in 2022 to Sevilla, and then joined Napoli in B in the 2022/2023 season in which, thanks in part to her goals, she managed to bring the team back to the top division.
