The Italian Football Confederation launched “Stesso Campo” (Same Field), a new project in Rome that brings together girls and boys with and without disabilities for a shared sporting experience.
Andrea Montemurro, president of the Italian Football Confederation, stated that inclusion is not just a slogan but a daily practice.
The project, supported by Fondazione Snam, aims to use football as a tool to build relationships, fight social isolation, and challenge prejudices. “Stesso Campo” operates on the principle that there are no special or normal teams, only people playing together. The event will take place on September 20 at the Honey sports center.
The Italian Football Confederation hopes to create an accessible and educational sporting model that can be reproduced elsewhere, transforming playing fields into spaces for inclusion and active citizenship. The Confederation already partners with Snam to support Lega Unica, Italy’s first championship for athletes with disabilities.
