Dream afternoon for Next Generation Sampdoria kids

In the prelude to the Cagliari game on Sunday afternoon, the spotlight was on the kids from football schools affiliated with the club’s Next Generation project.

The Blucerchiati Under-8s faced their opponents from Sardinia on 5-a-side pitches set up at the Marassi. It was a pleasure to see the little ones having so much fun, but even more encouraging was the 2000-strong crowd, made up of players, directors, coaches, parents and guardians, watching them in action.

All the clubs that make up Next Generation Sampdoria then attended the press conference with representatives from the marketing department and technical sponsor Joma, during which the foundations were laid out for the oncoming 12 months, including this summer’s Samp Camps.
