757 Goes to School

A project for inclusion, identity and Messina pride.

757club has presented a project for the city’s middle and high schools, designed to bring younger generations closer to Messina’s team and use football as an educational, social and identity-building tool.

Bringing young people closer to their city’s team

The project involves local schools and the allocation of a dedicated fund, still to be quantified, to purchase tickets that will be made available free of charge to students for ACR Messina home matches.

A dual purpose

In middle schools, involving students can also encourage families to attend matches. In high schools, the project can foster a more direct relationship with young people and their sense of belonging to the city.
