The Torneo dei Gironi officially kicks off

When it comes to talent and strategic vision, the Torneo dei Gironi is more than just a competition: it is a laboratory of ideas, a window on the future of Italian football. Starting today and going on until Sunday, the Centro Tecnico Federale in Coverciano will be the stage for this internal tournament, which represents a fundamental passage for the boys in the class of 2009, after the Christmas Tournament last season and before the Under-17s Torneo dei Gironi next year.
