The third edition of the Youth Cup “Fattorie Donna Giulia” ends tomorrow, the sporting event that took place in the municipal facilities of Agerola, Casola di Napoli, Gragnano and Lettere. The last act will see Sassuolo and Manchester City face off in the final for first and second place, scheduled for 10.15am tomorrow morning.
The defeat against the Neroverdi in the semi-final was fatal for Bologna, in an Emilian derby that ended in penalty kicks, which will be able to make up for it in the final against Fiorentina to decide the third and fourth place scheduled at 9:00. Both matches will be played in Casola di Napoli and broadcast live, the way in which the other matches of the tournament were also broadcast with thousands of viewers connected from home. The competition saw the participation of twenty-four professional and non-professional clubs, bringing over 1000 visitors to the cities of the Lattari Mountains, including members, families and professionals who flooded the territory and the hospitality businesses, setting in motion the great engine of sports tourism thanks to agreements made available to them by the organization.
A success from all points of view for the two souls of the tournament, Virtus Junior Stabia and the Fattorie Donna Giulia company, which for four days attracted the attention of all of Europe interested in the performances of the budding champions who arrived in Campania. The path of the two finalists yesterday saw the quarter-finals take place first, with the debut match which saw Sassuolo beat the English side Fleetwood and Manchester City prevail over Napoli 2-1, with the Azzurri doing well, both reaching the semi-finals and then winning. Positive performances also for Bayer Leverkusen, finishing fifth, after dominating their group in which the English team Luton Town was also present. What absolutely dominated, however, was the enthusiasm of the boys who participated in the great Youth Cup party “Fattorie Donna Giulia” who had the opportunity to deal with different realities from a footballing but also human point of view, as well as with Bayer Leverkusen and the English teams of Manchester City, Fleetwood, Luton Town and Stockport, also with the Finns of Helsinki.
