MONREALE, 26 May – It was just an appetizer, a small taste of a new summer that awaits us, now as if it had become (again) a tradition, for a good three years.
With the presentation in Piazza Guglielmo, the Monreale Neighborhoods and Hamlets Tournament officially begins in 2024.
Hosted by our director Enzo Ganci and the Palermo journalist Giulia Fazio, the evening’s show was divided into three parts: first the presentation of the tournament (with the presentation of the cup, the Tritone del Rutelli, by Giovanni Salamone, captain of the San Martino reigning champion) followed by a short video produced by Agarinto, then the presentation of the 12 participating teams and finally the draw of the two groups.
In the middle there were a few asides, such as the presence of Mario Alberto Santana, former Argentine international of Palermo, a delegation from the ASC Referees Palermo and the municipal administration. The twelve teams followed one another on the stage in Piazza Guglielmo, showing their lists for the first time.
Finally, the draw produced this outcome: San Martino delle Scale, Grisì, Bavera, Aquino, Santa Teresa and Villaciambra were included in Group A. In the other group, group B, San Vito, Pezzingoli, Carrubella, Carmine, Pioppo and San Castrense.
The tournament will begin on June 21st, awaiting the completion of the works, supervised by the architect Albanese, of the Conca d’Oro pitch, which will soon finally have a turf surface. Monreale already at a standstill: the atmosphere of the Neighborhood Tournament has returned to the city.
