“Sport teaches us to get involved and overcome obstacles. That's why Cattolica supports amputee football, a perfect example of the highest values in the world of sport”.These are the words of the Marketing Director of Cattolica Assicurazioni, Francesco Minelli, commenting on renewing the firm's sponsorship of the Nazionale Italiana Calcio Amputati.

The Company will support all the calendar activities in Italy, from the five technical gatherings distributed throughout the year to international competitive events, including the European fixtures in Krakow in September.

FISPES President, Sandrino Porru, emphasises “the importance of a relationship that is consolidating over time and that allows people to support the growth of amputee football in Italy, a discipline that continues to attract considerable interest. In one year the number of participants has doubled and the work done so far makes us proud. I warmly thank Cattolica Assicurazioni for continuing to believe in this project which is of enormous benefit to the disabled of this world”.

“The constant search for improvement, the ability to go beyond their limits and the not to fall down in the face of adversity are stimuli that unite the boys of the Nazionale and our Group - always mindful of people and their needs”, concludes Minelli.
