Respect League: Inter and CSI Milano join forces for a special football tournament | OneFootball

Emotion, passion, education and inclusion: these are just some of the values that have long inspired the partnership between Inter and CSI Milano, a collaboration that has given rise to the "Respect League". It's a special football tournament for Under-12 players from parish pitches across the provinces of Milano and Monza, designed to promote a form of sport that welcomes, inspires and teaches inclusion, celebrating differences and standing firmly against all forms of racism.

At the heart of this collaboration is a simple yet powerful idea: turning the season into a genuine workshop for learning and inspiration for young athletes. Inter will offer the participating teams a range of educational and immersive experiences, including moments of thoughtful reflection on the connection between sport and inclusion. These will feature three visits dedicated to the Shoah Memorial, as well as a day (21 March) focused on the fight against racial discrimination. The journey will culminate at the end of May with the presentation of the "Premio Inter" ("Inter Award") to the two teams who reach the final. Meanwhile, directors and coaches will be invited to take part in training sessions led by the Nerazzurri Youth Sector coaching staff.

The initiative - launched with great success - took on added emotional resonance through the involvement of Javier Zanetti, a genuine icon of fair play and dedication.

The project seeks to highlight that professional football remains mindful of its roots, and that great champions can, and should, serve as positive examples for young people, offering hope to a generation with the power to bring about real change.
