Games, challenges and activities for over 2.000 kids at the brand's stand at the 2023 Palermo Marathon. The three most deserving will get an audition with a professional football club
StarCasino Sport, in collaboration with One of Us, created an initiative dedicated to young Sicilians on the occasion of 28ª edition of the Palermo Marathon, of which the Betsson Group sports entertainment site was a sponsor. By actively involving over 2.000 kids, the brand's stand at the Village has become the epicenter of a unique experience: “Your Chance”. An occasion in which everyone was able to show their sporting skills and have the great chance of entering professional football. The project was, in fact, born with the aim of overcoming geographical borders, becoming the bridge between aspirations and reality for promising young football players, particularly in regions where resources and opportunities are limited. For three young Sicilian talents the dream will continue on the One of Us platform, a possible springboard towards more exciting challenges.
Brian Saudano, Simon Salomone and Edoardo Barone are the three Sicilian boys who demonstrated excellent football skills and who won 3 "Your Chance". All three defined the opportunity given by StarCasinò Sport as unique and unmissable: the absence of adequate sports facilities, the lack of efficient regional transport systems or more complex economic and social contexts are often the elements that do not allow everyone to have the same access to the sporting world and to come into contact with professional clubs.
“For us this initiative represents a concrete commitment to support the area and its young football talents. We believe that sport is a catalyst for social inclusion: in disadvantaged neighborhoods or communities affected by difficulties, sports teams offer a safe refuge and an opportunity for belonging and for sporting and human growth. Young people, often exposed to daily risks and challenges, find in sports clubs a place to cultivate values such as respect, discipline and loyalty. Belonging to a team promotes cohesion, overcoming divisions and creating bonds that go beyond social or economic differences. Thanks to this project we have therefore been able to provide a concrete opportunity that goes in this direction and of which we are particularly proud"Said Stephen Tino (in the picture), Managing Director of StarCasino Sport.
