Career
Matilde Macera has always played for Genoa CFC Women since this team exists.[2] She is the goalkeeper with the three longest unbeaten streaks in the club's history.
Macera played almost all matches of all seasons between 2019 and 2023, becoming then the backup goalkeeper due to the loan of Camilla Forcinella from Juventus during 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 seasons.

After signing a two-year contract extension with Genoa, she was loaned to Catania, in Serie C, during the summer of 2025.
With Catania, as the starting goalkeeper and thanks to 13 clean sheets in 19 league matches, and 2 clean sheets in 2 play-off games, she achieved promotion to Serie B thanks to the play-off final won on penalties against Südtirol, 0–0 (5–3), on 24 May 2026.
In the summer of 2026, she joined Catania on a permanent transfer.
