Veronica Madia (born 16 January 1995) is an Italian rugby union player. She plays Fly-half for Italy internationally and for Rugby Colorno at club level.

Rugby career

Madia played for a Colorno mixed team at the age of seven but had to stop at thirteen because the club did not have a women's team. She resumed her rugby career at 16 when a women's team was established by the Parmigiano club.

In 2016 she was called into the national team where she made her debut in Bologna in the Six Nations Championship, in Italy's 22–7 victory against Scotland which gave Italy qualification for the 2017 Women's Rugby World Cup.

As captain of Colorno she led the team to the 2016–17 championship final, won 32–0 by Valsugana; she was subsequently part of the Azzurri squad for the 2017 Women's Rugby World Cup in Ireland, where Italy finished ninth.

Madia helped Colorno win the 2017–18 season.
