=== Club Career ===

She began playing in 1984 at the age of 15 with the newly founded Pisanova (which became {{ill|Pisa Società Calcio Femminile|it|lt=Pisa}} two years later){{cite web|title=Patrizia Sberti: la donna-gol |url=http://www.calciodonna.it/servizi/sberti2000.htm}}, and shortly after transferred to Ulivetese, where she played until 1986 in the Tuscan regional championships.

In 1986, she moved to Prato, where at the age of 17 she debuted in the Serie A championship, in which she would continue to play uninterruptedly until the end of her career. During this time, she played for Carrara, Firenze—with whom, during the 1990-1991 season, she finished second in the top scorer rankings behind Carolina Morace, with 21 goals—and {{ill|Aircargo Agliana Calcio Femminile|it|lt=Agliana}}. With Agliana, she won a championship in the 1994–1995 season—scoring 30 goals and again finishing second in the top scorer rankings, just one goal behind her teammate and leading scorer Morace—as well as an Italian Cup in the 1996–1997 season.
