Excited and determined. Emma Giacchetti (pictured on the right), if it’s possible, she is. Captain of the U17 national team in preparation in Foligno for the U17 Women’s World Cup 2024, the World Championship which will be held in Leon de Los Aldama (Mexico) from 13 to 21 July, she feels «the great responsibility of representing Italy in an event so important, but also the need to make the best possible result. For this reason it is necessary, indeed fundamental, to create a solid and cohesive group, not only among us girls, but also with the staff, on and off the field, as we were already able to do a year ago at the European Championship in Turkey where we won the Bronze medal. It is thanks to the union of intentions that we can then achieve good sporting results.”
Emma, playmaker of Molisana Magnolia Campobasso, who has already made her debut in the Serie A1 championship, winning two youth championships this winter (U17 and U19), expresses herself calmly, but her body language betrays her impatience to jump all over in an instant. preparation, if possible, and to already be in Leon: «We will go to Mexico to earn everyone’s respect. The minimum result? Getting into the top eight, then, as we know, the World Cup is a strange and fascinating competition where anything can happen. However, we will do everything we can to do our best and to entertain and excite those who follow us.”
