February 6, 2026

During the meeting at the FIGC Technical Center, have been presented to the Club Italia coaching staff the EU projects “Hand in Hand “ and “BELONG”.

On Friday, February 6, during the regular meeting of the Youth National Team coaches at Coverciano — a key appointment for sharing methodologies, activity planning, and common strategies — the ‘Hand in Hand’ project was presented.

Promoted by the European Union and supported by UEFA, the project aims to educate the male sporting population on respect, equality, and the prevention of gender-based violence. The session at the Federal Technical Center provided a day rich in content and strategic insights. Specifically, Unimore presented an initial draft of a flexible and adaptable methodology designed to educate athletes and young players on how to effectively combat violence against women.

In addition, it was also a great opportunity to introduce the BELONG, project on the inclusion of young refugees, to the participants.
