Italian Ambassador to Cuba Roberto Vellano, and Consul Guglielmo Pirrone welcomed the soccer players at the diplomatic headquarters in the municipality of Playa. In Havana.

The representatives of Old Italia will participate in local tournaments and solidarity initiatives for young Cuban soccer players.

Italy is one of the great pillars of international soccer, while Cuba has lagged behind in that sport in recent years, although it is gaining more and more followers.
