“Welcome to all of you and congratulations on what you have done. Congratulations in particular to the Collarile family who have passionately carried out this adventure for years and to the president Di Fede. He and Antonio Collarile put their soul into it and Mario Ferraro’s entry into the company was the icing on the cake”. With these words the Sports delegate Enzo Lauro welcomed the club, the technical staff and the athletes Benevento 5 received this afternoon at Palazzo Mosti after winning Serie A on Saturday afternoon. At the end of his speech, the councilor then announced the administration’s maximum commitment to ensuring that PalaTedeschi becomes the home of the Giallorossi club in all respects. “Seeing the PalaTedeschi full was wonderful and it must be the home of Benevento 5 and not host Benevento 5. With Serie A you need a 24-hour structure and I hope you achieve even more prestigious goals”.
A reflection widely shared by the general director Antonio Collarile which in view of the next season hopes to also be able to rely on new spaces where it can continue to carry out this sporting and social project. “I am proud to be from Benevento and thanks to those who have been close to me in difficult times. I still find it hard to believe that I have fulfilled a dream and this Serie A does not belong to Collarile, but to the city and our entire province. We want to continue to grow with the humility that distinguishes us and to do so we need to be able to count on our own structure. Thanks again to all the guys and those who work behind the scenes for the goal achieved.”
A project of which he is also part Mario Ferraro and the honorary president is confident in further growth also with the support of all the institutions. “Together with Rosiello they are among the latest arrivals in the club and having lent a hand to this team is a source of pride. The victory achieved on Saturday is above all a victory for the boys and the coach. As a company we want to create a social project that also interests the Province and to do this we need a structure managed almost exclusively by us”.
The president seemed still very excited about the goal achieved on Saturday afternoon Pilgrim Of Faith: “Thanks to the municipal administration for welcoming us and thanks to the guys who fulfilled a dream that the whole city had been cultivating for a few days now. We have been trying for some time to raise the name of Benevento as a city and as a province and we will continue to do so.”
In addition to numerous representatives of the municipal administration, the provincial delegate of the CONI was also present in the council room of Palazzo Mosti, Mario Collarile who congratulated the company and the team for the goal achieved. “This city has a great past from which it draws and also thanks to sport it is brought to the national spotlight. Thanks therefore to the Collarile family for this achievement and having given something to the city is a satisfaction that surpasses any gift one could receive. What has been done represents a victory for the territory which wants to demonstrate that it is from Serie A and thanks for operating primarily in a district that presents many problems.”
To the mayor Clemente Mastellabefore the award ceremony, give the conclusions: “A flattering result that makes us particularly proud because you have raised the name of our city high. I therefore thank all of you for what you have done, President Di Fede, the Collarile family, the sponsors and Mario Ferraro for your commitment and thank you also for the social support that you have been providing for so many kids in the Libertà district for some time now. Another splendid result and I hope that other important goals will be achieved with Serie A.”
This was followed by the presentation of plaques and medals to players and managers for the objective achieved and the Giallorossi management honored the mayor with an autographed t-shirt and a blow-up in the shape of the letter A.
