Space, then, to side events. Fans who want to follow their favourites, but also the inhabitants of the valley, will be able to participate in many leisure and entertainment initiatives, not necessarily related to football.
The contribution of the local club 'Monti Pallidi', which will logistically support the club during the fourteen-day stay, is essential.
During the pre-season in the mountains, Genoa Camps will also take place, football courses for children and youngsters, run by coaches and instructors from the youth sector and football school.
