We are archiving an edition again this year that introduced novelties, such as that of the Special Olympics tournament and the women’s tournament that has become an integral part – explains ASD Scopigno Cup President Fabrizio Formichetti – returning to the prestigious setting of the Scopigno was significant, like the numerous conferences organised: we are already working on the next edition, always in the spirit that animates the tournament which not only conveys the values sports but also the promotion of tourism, culture and local food and wine specialities”.
