Società Sportiva Dilettantistica Brescia Calcio Femminile, known as Brescia Calcio Femminile or simply Brescia, is an Italian women's football club from Capriolo, near Brescia. It was founded in 1985 as FCF Capriolo Arredamenti Ostilio. In 2000 it moved to Bergamo, where it played for five seasons as ACF Pro Bergamo. The team was renamed in 2005 as it returned to Capriolo.[3] Though sharing similar colours and logos with the men's team in the city, Brescia Calcio, the women's team is not a subordinate of it; however, in 2020 a formal partnership agreement was made between them.[4]
