Inter and Qatar Airways United partner up to promote football for every ability | OneFootball

Inter and Qatar Airways, the Club’s Official Main Training Kit Partner, teamed up for a major initiative promoting inclusion and football for all abilities, working alongside global football icon Rio Ferdinand as part of the Qatar Airways United programme.

The project took shape over two days of activities organised with Real Eyes Sport, a leading organisation in sports participation for young people with visual impairments.

The first event brought together the Real Eyes Sport football team, Inter Youth Sector players and Rio Ferdinand for a special joint training session – a chance to share values, skills and, above all, a passion for the game.

Two young members of the association were then given a unique “all-access” matchday experience: pitchside for the warm-up, in the stands for the full San Siro atmosphere, and meeting Nerazzurri players after the final whistle, all alongside Rio Ferdinand.

Ferdinand and the Qatar Airways United crew were welcomed to Inter HQ by Vice President Javier Zanetti, who outlined the Club’s ongoing commitment to social responsibility projects.

Starting this season, Real Eyes Sport has become a part of Inter’s collaborative network of local associations, which promote football for all abilities, alongside ASD Sporting 4 E for Paralympic and experimental football and Snakes Milano for powerchair football.

With this collaboration, Inter and Qatar Airways affirm their support for experiences that generate a positive impact on the community, and sustain the values of sport as a tool for growth, inclusion and connection between people.
