VENEZIA FC AND CROSTA MOLLICA: PARTNERSHIP RENEWED FOR THE 2026/2027 SEASON
Venezia FC and Crosta Mollica confirm the continuation of their partnership for the 2026/2027 season: the company, which specializes in the production and distribution of authentic Italian food products, will once again be the Main Sponsor of the Women’s First Team.
The jersey of the new kit for this season, once again produced in collaboration with NOCTA, will feature the Crosta Mollica logo on the front of the shirt as Official Sponsor, reflecting the continuity of a partnership that is being renewed for the third consecutive year.
Founded to bring the authenticity of Italian cuisine to the world, Crosta Mollica is best known for its slow-proved sourdough pizzas, produced in northeast Italy: a region that is particularly close to the brand and which today represents one of the most natural points of connection with the history and identity of Venezia FC.
Furthermore, this season, the partnership will extend beyond the pitch: starting with the physical display at the Ca’ Venezia Training Centre, where ten pitch-side banners dedicated to Crosta Mollica will be displayed. The synergy will also come to life through exclusive initiatives with the Arancioneroverdi athletes – thanks to the long-standing relationship with the Club – with further exciting developments set to be revealed in the coming months.
Nicola Boscaro, Chief Revenue Officer of Venezia FC, said:
“We are proud to renew our partnership with Crosta Mollica for the third consecutive year as a sponsor of our Women’s Team. For us, this represents a confirmation of the strength of our relationship and of a partnership that goes beyond sponsorship: a partner that has chosen to grow alongside our women’s football project, sharing its ambitions and values. It is an important recognition of the work we are carrying out, as well as a further incentive to continue along this path.”
Dean Lavender, Chief Marketing Officer of Crosta Mollica, said:
“Crosta Mollica are excited and proud to continue its long-term partnership with Venezia FC Femminile by confirming a third consecutive season as headline sponsor. This season will be our biggest yet, as Crosta Mollica and Venezia FC come together like never before to celebrate calcio, pizza and the iconic city of Venezia.”
VENEZIA FC
Venezia FC is the professional football club of Venice. The historic Club is renowned for its pursuit of sporting excellence and integrity, combined with its commitment to social responsibility, community development, art, and the preservation of Venice. Located on the lagoon island of Sant’Elena, the Club plays at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo, the second-oldest stadium in Italy, situated next to the Venice Biennale district. For much of its history, Venezia has competed in the top two tiers of the Italian football league system. One of the Club’s most significant achievements was winning the Coppa Italia in the 1940–41 season. More recently, Venezia was promoted from Serie D to Serie C, then to Serie B between 2015 and 2020, and finally to Serie A in 2021 and 2024. Venezia secured promotion in the 2025/26 season and will return to Serie A in 2026.
CROSTA MOLLICA
Crosta Mollica, the modern Italian food brand for those with exceptional taste, began its journey in the Italian countryside in 2009.

The brand’s iconic symbol – The Leopard – is inspired by the hallmark of a perfectly baked Neapolitan pizza: a golden crust with distinctive charred spots that resemble a leopard’s coat.
