Lazio

In July 2021, Mastrantonio signed a two-year contract with Italian club Lazio, following their promotion to the Serie A ahead of the 2021–22 season.[9] She was the first Australian woman to join the club after consulting with the club's assistant coach Nicola Williams who had previously coached Perth Glory.[10] Following poor form by the club, which included the dismissal of coach Carolina Morace who had recruited Mastrantonio, she departed the club in December 2021 to try to find another club in Europe to play for and to increase her chances for an international call-up.[11]
