Institutes from the capital, Verona, Naples, and Turin remain in contention for the title, with the semi-finals and final at the Salaria Sport Village stadium.
The fifth edition of the Italian Football Cup concludes tomorrow, Wednesday. Europe’s leading 11-a-side youth football competition will see its semi-finals and final played at the Salaria Sport Village stadium, in collaboration with Lazio. Following 15 city tournaments that involved 260 teams representing as many schools, 5,500 student footballers, and a total of 500 matches, two semi-finals will kick off from 3:00 PM: one between Istituto Segheti of Verona and Pacinotti of Rome, and the other between Caccioppoli of Naples and Primo Levi of Turin.
The winners will compete for the national title from 9:00 PM. This event marks the culmination of a competition involving thousands of students from across the country. The Italian Football Cup, an amateur sports association entirely organised by under-25s, is currently active in Rome, Milan, Naples, Turin, Florence, Verona, Como, Bergamo, Vicenza, Padua, Mantua, Pordenone, Treviso, Ferrara, and Lecco. The individual tournaments have garnered over 15 million views on social media and attracted approximately 70,000 spectators to the various stadiums. The event is held with the support of national institutions, thanks to a memorandum of understanding signed with the Ministry of Education and Merit.
