Atalanta Football Camps to be held in Egypt with Intesa Sanpaolo
To take place from 5 to 7 October
Intesa Sanpaolo and Atalanta BC support the Atalanta Football Camps in Egypt, an inclusion initiative that leverages sport to develop the potential of boys and girls from vulnerable backgrounds.
The Atalanta Football Camps – to be held in Egypt this year from October 5-7 – will offer 120 underprivileged boys and girls the chance to develop their skills by training with Atalanta BC's Youth Academy instructors.
The 2023 edition of the Atalanta Football Camps is the third appointment that employs soccer as a symbol of cohesion, supported by Intesa Sanpaolo through its International Subsidiary Banks Division (ISBD), following the success of the previous editions in Albania and Bosnia-Herzegovina. The press conference to present the Atalanta Football Camps, held today at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, Italy, was attended by representatives of Intesa Sanpaolo, its Egyptian subsidiary Alexbank, and Atalanta BC.
“The International Subsidiary Banks Division supports numerous social responsibility activities intending to create shared value across the 12 countries in which it operates. Among the inclusion and sustainability initiatives supported are the Atalanta Football Camps, three days of sports in which soccer becomes a symbol of cohesion, empowerment and growth for 120 children from vulnerable backgrounds,” said Marco Elio Rottigni, Chief of Intesa Sanpaolo’s International Subsidiary Banks Division.
“The Football Camp represents the flagship initiative of our Academy: here at Atalanta, we pride ourselves in allowing youngsters to experience unique and inspirational moments thanks to the offer provided by our Camps. It is therefore with utmost satisfaction that, thanks to our joint venture with an invaluable and ever-mindful partner such as Intesa Sanpaolo, we usher in a new edition of such a significant initiative: after the previous iterations in Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina, we are honoured and humbled to unveil Egypt as the appointed hosting country for the upcoming International Football Camps donning the banner of Atalanta BC”, said Roberto Samaden, Head of Youth Academy at Atalanta BC.
Intesa Sanpaolo, through its International Subsidiary Banks Division (ISBD), operates in twelve countries – including Egypt with Alexbank – characterized by a strategic positioning in the broader Mediterranean area.
