The Azzurre of yesterday and today are the protagonists at the Festa del Cinema di Roma. Tomorrow at 19:00 CEST a delegation from the Women's National side, lead by Head Coach Andrea Soncin and Head of the Delegation Chiara Marchitelli, will be guests at the event 'Vincere insieme' promoted by Fandango within the 'Gruppo FS' dedicated to sport in all of its forms.
During this event they will talk about 'Copa 71', the film which tells the story of the unofficial Women's World Cup in 1971 in Mexico City, already shown to today's players last July at the meeting in Brunico. Some protagonists of that unforgettable campaign such as Elena Schiavo, Elisabetta Vignotto and Daniela Sogliani will be in attendance to receive the deserved tribute. Alongside them as well as a representation of the current National Team, Massimo Procacci, Fandango's Producer and Distributor, will also attend, alongside Deka Mohamed Osman, co-director of the film 'Non dirmi che hai paura', based on the life of Samia Yusuf Omar, Somalian athlete who ran for women's rights.
'Copa '71', which has been produced by Tennis legends Serena and Venus Williams and distributed by Fandango, tells the story of the tournament played 53 years ago at the 'Azteca', when the women's national teams of England, Argentina, Mexico, France, Denmark and Italy took part in a competition of gigantic proportion. Sponsors, wide television coverage, gadgets on sale in every corner of the stadium and around 100,000 spectators all of which transformed a football tournament into a worldwide event. An event, however, which was never recognised by any international federation or by the history of football, but which went ahead nonetheless.
