He comes third in the Serie A championship in the 2009 season, starting to be in the spotlight for his skill and his determined character.
In 2011 she suffered a major injury that kept her away from the pitch for almost the whole season: she managed to collect only 7 appearances out of 25 games. In the following years he moved first to Brescia and then to the Parisian team of the Paris Saint German women’s section and played in the Division 1 Feminine.
In 2015 he returned to the Brescia team playing the Champions League in the 2015-2016 season.
In the following year he moved to his current team, the Juventus Woman of which he became captain. With this team he won two league titles and an Italian couple. Sara has already been in the national team since under 19: the leap into the senior national team is almost natural and soon she also becomes captain.

Civil commitment
Sara Gama has often been a guest on TV shows like Propaganda Live on La7 where she talked about Ius Soli saying:
Isn’t it time to talk about Ius Soli? This is a very inflated phrase. Now there is the pandemic which is a huge problem but I struggle to find a time when there are no problems. There is always a problem to postpone the discussion on rights, whether it is the Ius Soli or the professionalism of Italian sportsmen and women because we are talking about better regulating the sports sector which is important for our country, giving protections to male athletes. and high-level females
Sara Gama joined the campaign against prejudice #I am different of Cartoon Network becoming a cartoon, and said:
Diversity is a value. Diversity and originality are fundamental ingredients to emerge and to make one’s life a unique story. As it happened to me. Little girls can dream of becoming professionals. We are not the pioneers of football, other women have been before us, but we represent the turning point. Each generation has to leave something behind. We do our part. When you become a cartoon you understand that you can leave your mark …
Salary
Sara Gama’s salary is what it can be paid at the most by the Italian law for female footballers. It is in fact an activity, that of women’s football, which is not considered as a professional activity.
