Ten days dedicated to the oval ball. Ten days to raise awareness of the blue passion in Japan as well, which is the location for the first time of a World Rugby Championship in Asia. The initiative was inaugurated on Wednesday in Tokyo, Cattolica Assicurazioni Piazza Italia, carried out by the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Japan in cooperation with the Italian Rugby Federation and the main sponsor of the Azzurri, Cattolica Assicurazioni. A series of events between the cities of Osaka, Ueda, Toyota and Fukuoka to experience together with the boys of Mr. O’Shea the emotions of an international challenge with the enthusiasm and warmth of the Italian fan. A unique occasion to introduce to the Land of the Rising Sun not only the world of Italian rugby, but all the inimitable excellencies of the Belpaese. Over sixty Italian companies will be present to certify the Made in Italy value and to support Parisse and his companions in the many “Bar Sport” organised in order to be able to follow the matches live of the National Team with the commentary of expert guests. “For Cattolica it is the first world championship and a point of pride for us to be alongside the FIR in this challenge - stated Emanuela Vecchiet, Communications and Institutional Relations Director of Cattolica -, held in a Country such as Japan with which Cattolica shares a series of values devoted to the ethics of work”.
