A morning dedicated to highlighting the universal value of football as a tool for inclusion and growth


Ahead of the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, which takes place annually on 6 April, Inter organised We Are Sport, a morning dedicated to highlighting the power of sport to change the world, strengthen social ties and promote personal growth through discipline, respect and solidarity.

The initiative, which took place today at the KONAMI Youth Development Centre in Memory of Giacinto Facchetti, involved athletes with different disabilities but all united by their passion for football. They included players from Asd Sporting 4E, the Special team that wears the Nerazzurri jersey in the FIGC football division, athletes from the BebeVio Academy, as well as young para-footballers from various other local organisations. A few players from Inter's Elite Academy took to the pitch with them.

“Sport is a universal language, and its values promote change and growth in all those who practise it, whatever the level. In all our activities, we try to convey the message that sport is a great vehicle for inclusion. Inter revolves around being Brothers and Sisters of the World, and passion for sport makes us all brothers and sisters.”

Javier Zanetti - Vice President nerazzurro

The activities will continue when Inter face Fiorentina: two powerchair users who took part in the morning session today will accompany the players to the centre of the pitch before the match begins.

The initiative is part of the Corporate Social Responsibility activities that Inter have been successfully carrying out for a long time. This involves working with local organisations to realise projects aimed at supporting integration, education, social cohesion and the fight against all forms of discrimination through concrete action.
