Smiles, laughter and a whole lot of fun: it was an unforgettable experience for a number of youngsters, who got to meet Federico Bernardeschi today in the Oratory of San Bernardino, Turin.
The Juventus forward, along with Torino defender Cristian Molinaro, was a special guest at the ‘Incontro con il Campione’ (‘Meeting with the Champion’) Junior TIM Cup event, organised every year by Lega Serie A, TIM and Centro Sportivo Italiano throughout the country.
The young people participating had the chance to ask Federico a few questions, about their past, growing up playing in the oratories, and about their careers and what it takes to becomes a professional footballer.
At the end of the event, there were of course opportunities for those present to get signatures and selfies with their stars.
The Junior TIM Cup takes place in the oratories of the 15 cities whose teams compete in the Serie A TIM and in previous editions has seen over 53,000 young people and 4,000 oratories involved across the whole of Italy, promoting the bond between elite and grassroots sports through the education and development of the country’s youngest.
