"It is with great regret that we announce the closure of the Associazione Sportiva Hockey Club Ladies Lugano due to insurmountable financial difficulties. Despite all the efforts and hard work of our team, the current financial situation has unfortunately forced us to take this difficult decision."
HC Ladies Lugano were not able to play in the league qualifier due to their financial difficulties and even tried crowdfunding to somehow finish the 2023-24 season. They had already announced last year that they would not play in the Women's League this season, but they were able to find the money to start the 2023-24 season in May.
