Associazione Sportiva Dilettantistica Torres Calcio Femminile (usually referred to simply as Torres or sometimes named Eurospin Torres due to sponsorship) was an Italian women's association football club based in Sassari, Sardinia. The club was formed in 1980 and competed in women's Serie A until 2015. Torres's colours were blue and red. The team won seven scudetti and eight Italian Women's Cups. They were refused a license for the 2015–16 Serie A season due to debts.
After winning two doubles in 2000 and 2001, Torres became the first team to represent Italy in the newly founded UEFA Women's Cup. After 2009–10 the team was a regular competitor in the rebranded UEFA Women's Champions League, reaching the quarter-finals on three occasions.
The club was founded in 1980 as A.C.F. Delco Costruzioni of Sassari and affiliated to the Federazione Italiana Calcio Femminile (FIGCF; Italy's autonomous women's football association). They began playing in the 1981 season, enrolling in the local division of Serie C.
In 1989, by then known as CUS Sassari, the team won the Sardinian section of Serie C and promotion to Serie B. The next season the club won its league again and arrived in Serie A for the first time. In the club's first season at the top level, 1990–91, the team won their first Italian Women's Cup. In 1993–94 the goals of Carolina Morace secured a first Scudetto. The following season, without Morace, the title was lost but the team won their second Italian Cup.
Between 1999 and 2005, Torres won two league titles, four Italian Cups, two Italian Super Cups and the Italy Women's Cup, as well as establishing the record of 38 consecutive wins in official matches including league and Italian Cup. Torres was the first Italian team to participate in the UEFA Women's Cup, the female version of the UEFA Champions League.
