Young people at the center of the project, this is the leitmotif of the C NOW Series which focuses strongly on the development of emerging talents.
From the Zola Reform to the new rules on playing time, through the data on 90% of Italian footballers who play in the championship, Serie C wants to continue to be the reservoir of the future Italian national team as it was for Baggio, Chiesa, Chiellini and many other champions who rose to the top of Europe and the World.
Thanks to the collaboration with Pantofola d’Oro, a historic leading company in its sector and partner of the Representatives, twelve young footballers, four for each category between under 17, under 16 and under 15, received two pairs of professional football boots, of superior quality, created for the occasion by Pantofola d’Oro, as done in the past for champions of the calibre of Rivera, Riva and Mazzola.
The event was attended by the President of Serie C, Matteo Marani, who personally awarded the boys, the Chief Executive of Pantofola d’Oro, Kim Williams, and the Technical Commissioner of the Lega Pro Representatives, Daniele Arrigoni.
Kim Williams, Chief Executive of Pantofola d’Oro: “We are honored to reward these players who we hope will become the future talents of Italian football, it is necessary that young people take us into a new dimension. We are very pleased that our brand is linked to these guys, after having dressed great champions, because our goal is to re-propose our product to the new generations. In this way, we are reviving the extraordinary habit of the past of making custom and personalized shoes, when legends of the caliber of Rivera or Riva would visit us in the factory to have their unique example of a football boot. Today, together with my team, we will do the same in the historic headquarters of Serie C”.
