Pessotto attends anti-racism initiative

Academy chief Gianluca Pessotto attended an anti-racism initiative organised by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) in Piccolo Regio di Torino this evening.

The “Razzisti? Una brutta razza” event, fronted by former Olympic long-jumper Fiona May, is being promoted on the occasion of Tuesday’s international friendly between Italy and England at Juventus Stadium.

Children from many schools in Turin, including members of the Bianconeri’s Allievi Nazionali and Giovanissimi Nazionali sides, were also present at the initiative where they watched a show dedicated to them before then having the opportunity to chat with their fellow guests.
