Puma Launches Special Italy Team Kit
2013-03-19 11:37 CET PUMA LAUNCHES SPECIAL ITALY TEAM KIT Coverciano, Italy – PUMA today introduced a special Italy national football team kit for the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup. At a launch event in Coverciano, the training ground of the national team, PUMA presented the new kit together with Gianluigi Buffon and Andrea Pirlo of the ‘Squadra Azzurra’ to the press. The kit will be worn on pitch for the first time in this week’s match against the 2013 Confederations Cup hosts Brazil in Geneva. For the first time in PUMA’s history, the replica shirt is made from 100% recycled Polyester, representing a further step in the Sportlifestyle brand’s sustainability strategy. The official Italy team kit to be worn by ‘The Azzurri’ this summer features enhanced moisture management through the use of a fabric made of recycled polyester and Cocona®, which is an activated carbon made from coconut shells. This mixture of materials provides a superior level of comfort and performance. The new design features a new striking look, including an embossed Power graphic that fades from bold to light. The visual design, evolved from PUMA’s 2012 Power range, emphasises the physical aspects of a player even more prominently. A fluorescent blue piping on the collar and around the font adds a new unique appeal to the shirt. Additional details include the ‘Tricolore’ coloured cuffs and inserts at the bottom of the shirt that represent the national flag of Italy. Giorgio Chiellini, the Italian International attended the launch event and commented, “It is a great moment to wear a new Italian national team kit for the first time on the pitch.

You Go Ahead, Cause Its Making Me Laugh... by Fausto Sala - Vice President FISSC
Year Number Jan - Mar 2 1 2012 You go ahead, cause its making me laugh... by Fausto Sala - Vice President FISSC “Olimpico” stadium in Rome, Sunday 5 February 2012. Around the 20 minute of the first half of Roma-Inter in South stand appeared a banner which read: “All at 15: the nature of things, by nature force”. As everybody knows the match was scheduled to be played on Saturday at 20.45, then anticipated at 15 and at last moved at the same time on Sunday, in contemporary with all other matches in serie A as the tradition was back in the past. Thus the roman fans wanted to underline this fact and their consent for the traditional shcedule of matches, remarking as only the snow emergency had forced the hands of those in command to revert to old habits of italian football fans. We can repeat until boredom that playing at night in the coldest days of the year is madness. Yet since January 18 up to February 5, between league and national cup, 21 matches at night have been programmed and out of these 19 in the north between Bergamo, Milan, Torino or Novara. But you think that who decides does not know such facts? But more the Lega is criticised, and more who guides the Lega continues to be bend to the will of the television networks who now have absolute power to decide the time in which games are playes, having tv rights now constitute the main income for the clubs. Thus the only concern of the Lega in these last seasons, whose president Maurizio Beretta has resigned since March of last year since he now passed to a top managerial post within UniCredit, was to see how to divide between the clubs the income coming from these rights with the consequent effect of half-empty stadiums to the benefit of sitting in cosy armchairs and sofas at home.

El Partido contra la Pobreza del PNUD recauda 370 000 euros para los esfuerzos de recuperación tras el Ebola Ginebra / St-Etienne 26 de mayo de 2015 – el XII Partido contra la Pobreza disputado el pasado mes de abril en St. Etienne (Francia) que acogió a 33.913 espectadores, recaudó 370 000 euros para ayudar a las naciones de África Occidental a recuperarse de la crisis del virus del Ébola. Así se ha anunciado tras reunir todos los ingresos obtenidos de la venta de billetes, los derechos de difusión y el patrocinio del evento del 20 de abril. Dos terceras partes de la recaudación se destinarán a ayudar a los esfuerzos de recuperación de los países más afectados por la epidemia —Guinea, Liberia y Sierra Leona— mientras que la Asociación del club, ASSE Coeur-Vert, que impulsa proyectos sociales en Saint-Etienne, recibirá el tercio restante. "Con el trabajo en equipo y la solidaridad, el poder del juego global puede ayudar al esfuerzo por combatir una de las enfermedades más devastadoras de los últimos tiempos” dijo Gina Casar, Secretaria General Adjunta y Administradora Asociada del PNUD. “Los países afectados siguen necesitando el apoyo de la comunidad internacional para llegar a cero casos de Ébola, mantenerlos al cero y avanzar en el camino a la recuperación ”. Más de 20.000 personas han perdido la vida por esta enfermedad mortal y el brote ha causado una extensa crisis socio-económica de proporciones sin precedentes, con un riesgo real de que los progresos económicos y sociales alcanzados en los tres países pudieran frenarse o incluso invertirse.
