In March 2019 Genoa female youth club subscribed to Torneo di Viareggio, one of the most important youth football tournaments in the world, that finally admitted female club. Here Alessandra Massa played all three matches of the group stage with Genoa, until Genoa got eliminated subsequently to two defeats (against Fiorentina and Inter) and one victory (against Spezia).
