Philadelphia Junior Cup | Keep Racism Out: A meeting with Calligaris and Kalulu at the Allianz Training Center
The Philadelphia Junior Cup | Keep Racism Out returned yesterday - Wednesday, 29 April - at the Allianz Training Center in Vinovo.
Participants on the day were Viola Calligaris of our Women’s First Team and Pierre Kalulu representing the Men’s First Team, and they spent some time with 30 youngsters from the San Benedetto Parish between the ages of 12 and 14. As well as the above, there were also delegations from Juventus’ youth sector: our Under-13s girls, the boys of the same age category, and Juventus One & Youth.
The discussion on the day focused on the values of sport, and it allowed the two First Team defenders to share their experiences with the kids in attendance, emphasising the importance of collaboration and teamwork, both in football and away from the pitch as well.
The initiative follows the experience of 40 young people from the San Francesco youth center in Venaria and the Maria Ausiliatrice youth center in Villastellone at the Allianz Stadium for the Juventus-Sassuolo Men’s Serie A match. On the day of the game, they were able to soak up the stadium atmosphere.
The Philadelphia Junior Cup is a national seven-a-side tournament involving clubs from the cities of Serie A sides. All players are under the age of 14, and they also play in another match in support of the ‘Keep Racism Out’ campaign, promoted by Lega Serie A and CSI. Meetings and educational activities are part of the project, with Wednesday’s even included, to promote awareness and provide concrete tools with which to combat discrimination.
Speaking at the event, along with Calligaris and Kalulu, were Claudio Cortese and Riccardo Tinozzi from Juventus’ Psychology Department, Oumar Daffe from the Corporate Social Responsibility Office of Lega Calcio Serie A, and Maurizio Caterina, President of CSI Subalpino.
