LUBUMBASHI – \u201cThe project was born in the wake of the Treble, so you could say it was born under a good star.\u201d These were the opening words of our interview with Gabriele Salmi on Instagram, the organisational representative of the Congolese project. His passion, emotion and enthusiasm were all clear as he looked back on the birth of Inter Campus Congo ten years ago. \u201cAfter the victory in the Intercontinental Cup against TP Mazembe in Abu Dhabi, one of the most decorated sides in Africa, the idea of a project in Lubumbashi was born in a conversation with Carlotta Moratti.\u201d With ten years having passed since that chat, the project now hosts five teams of boys and girls who, thanks to the support of their local partner ALBA Onlus, have the chance to study regularly while also carrying out the sporting activities vital for the development of any child. All in a Nerazzurri shirt. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe Inter shirt helps children understand the importance of the Club\u2019s values. Friendship, loyalty, respect. Thanks to this shirt they\u2019re all aware that they\u2019re a part of one common project, that they can reach their goals and achieve results, all while growing up and playing alongside one another. Not only that, our local coaches have grown a lot too, and these days they\u2019ve all reached the level where they\u2019re autonomous and independent. The transmission of knowledge from Inter\u2019s coaches to local coaches has been constant and continuous over these years. But it hasn\u2019t been a one-way transmission, it\u2019s been a mutual exchange of knowledge which the Inter coaches have enjoyed too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Today, activities remain suspended due to COVID, but in a country like Congo, it is imprudent to identify a single primary emergency; the risk is overlooking the nation’s other ongoing challenges, such as cholera or malaria, which are daily realities. However, it is certain that when they resume, we will find the same enthusiasm with which they began over ten years ago. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
