This is a special day for our Association. This morning, in “Sala del Consiglio Federale” of FIGC (Italian Football Federation), Mr. Valerio Di Tommaso signed an important agreement with Federcalcio and UEFA Foundation for Children. Thanks to this agreement, “Crazy for Football”, movie and documentary directed by Volfango De Biasi and awarded with David Di Donatello, is going to be broadcasted in Italian schools.

It has become possible thanks to the grant provided by UEFA Foundation for Children, who decided to award the project designed by Mr. Santo Rullo, psychiatrist and president of the International Football Committee in Mental Health. Thanks to the project, thousands ho young people will have the opportunity to watch the movie, speaking about the adventure of twelve boys coming from different Departments of Mental Health around Italy and selected to represent the Country at the 2016 Japan Futsal World Cup.

Great satisfaction for Mr. Di Tommaso and ECOS. «It is crucial to sensibilize people, especially youngster about this topic – he said to Figc.it -. Football can be a great medicine, that can contribute to social inclusion and integration».
