A message of solidarity, but no one screamed racism, unfortunately, returned to prominence after the ravages of Inter striker Mario Balotelli. The football field will be an opportunity to create a virtual partnership between two teams representing the Northern and Southern Italy: on the one hand the boys in the Venice Cup, the other ones
Librino district of Catania, young and hard, where is already fortunate to be able to grow. An area of \u200b\u200bone hundred thousand inhabitants with little chance of aggregation and only a reference point: the John Paul II Youth Centre. A Librino but lacks a soccer field where kids can grow up looking to the future with a smile. For this reason, the funds raised during the game will be entirely donated to Sister Lucia
, silent angel who for years has been working to raise the money necessary to realize the dream of these guys.
For boys the Venice Cup the stadium entrance will be free, then everyone can decide if and how much to bid. For other ticket is 5 €.
But No Fair No Play, Mix and Tvpressing 2erre organizations not only to think of boys Librino. During the evening, it triggered a second round of solidarity
: all those present will be invited to send an SMS worth € 1 to the number 48580
to assist earthquake victims in Abruzzo
.

Boccato , Councillor for Sports of Jesolo
-. These events include the Venice Cup, which this year will bring more than 1,500 children in our city from all over Italy .
"
is not the classic game of solidarity, because the basis is a different concept - comments
Roberto Palesa, a member of 2erre Organizations
-. When it comes to charity is usually always thinks the children of the Third World, but here we try to give hope to young Italians, then an industrialized country, but do not have the same chances as their peers who participating in the Venice Cup .

I think this is a historic day, a day when you try to unify Italy through the children of Jesolo and Librino - stresses
Luciano Capponi, president of the Ethics Committee NFNP
-. Children represent the future, new generations, but paradoxically in the eyes of our children do not see the same hopes, for example, can be glimpsed in those of Third World children. Our task is to try to restore the hope of a better future for our children .
"
No Fair No Play combines the entertainment and sports, in their career, they have all left their mark in various disciplines - analysis
Luigi Conte, team manager NFNP
-. It 's a group that is comfortable with, which is constantly enriched and tries to transmit the values \u200b\u200bof sport as a game, not only as a discipline that aims competitive aspect. " For
Patrick Oliva, a former boxing champion sport for children must remain a dream. "
now the business has taken over, and initiatives like this to remind kids that sports is a dream and dreams can come only through meeting the goals. It takes sacrifices, but we have a duty to enable these kids to dream, offering them alternatives. Especially in certain areas of Italy, where the crime rips the boys to study and culture .
opponent, but only in the field, Team Tvpressing Mix, made by the association of Treviso Pressing TV - which since its founding in 2002 intended to initiatives of solidarity more than 40 thousand euro - and some famous athletes in Veneto.
"
This game comes at a particular moment in Italian sport, I refer to recent events Balotelli - explains
Tiziano Graziottin , Association President TV Pressing
-. I'm surprised to hear, even in public debates, which give the "son of a bitch" on Balotelli may be eligible, but not okay to denigrate the color of his skin. E 'and your faulty reasoning from Jesolo we must send a strong signal against junk happening in our stadiums. "
