“Keep Racism Out”: An afternoon at Vinovo with Cecilia Salvai and Michele Di Gregorio | OneFootball

Wednesday afternoon was one dedicated to youth, with Men’s First Team player Michele Di Gregorio and Women’s First Team player Cecilia Salvai taking part in an event at Vinovo. It all took place around the Turin leg of the ‘Philadelphia Junior Cup | Keep Racism Out’, a national seven-a-side Under-14s tournament that is promoted by Serie A and aimed at the oratories of the cities with top-flight teams.

Di Gregorio and Salvai, players from our Men’s and Women’s First Teams, respectively, met the youngsters involved from the Turin parishes of Immacolata Concezione and San Donato for a few moments’ reflection and discussion, focusing on important themes like friendship, respect, teamwork, the fight against racism, and all forms of discrimination. Those very themes are the same focused on by the Junior Cup project, which has ‘Keep Racism Out’ in its very name.

At the end of their meeting, the boys presented Cecilia and Michele with a t-shirt with the message “football is friendship” on it, which is one of the key themes of the competition.

Also present at the meeting were Felice Fabrizio (People and Sustainability Manager of the Club), Riccardo Tinozzi (Delegate of the Protection of Minors Project of the Club and member of Juventus’ Psychology department), Claudio Giovanni Cortese (Professor at the University of Turin’s Department of Psychology and Scientific Manager of the Juventus Training project), and Giulia Panebianco (of the Lega Serie A’s Corporate Social Responsibility Office).
