But the initiative does not only aim at the exchange of young people, but also thanks to the involvement of emigrant institutions, companies or associations, it also wants to be an important driving force for the culture and economy of the realities involved. Cecilia Santamaria Brand and Business Strategy Director, explains the importance of the project in terms of expansion of the Pescara Calcio brand: “Football today cannot stop at just the pitch, but must exploit its potential and the spirit of belonging, to seek other sources of livelihood; best represent the territory, its people and the peculiarities of its companies to attract tourism and investors”.
