LND eSport Road Show 2k20, Italgreen technical partner

The LND launches itself on the virtual front and thus continues to "educate by playing" through a project devoted to social inclusion and training.

Kicking off the new initiative organized by the National Amateur League to also involve young people with disabilities.

THE COLLABORATION

Also in this case Italgreen is there to give its contribution to support an unusual and different initiative to involve young athletes and fans.

Sports loyalty, respect for the rules, and social solidarity are the common denominators that unite us with LND, which is why we have decided to lend our support to a project that talks about another kind of soccer, not the kind played with the ball, but the "videogame" kind that does not have to be seen as an enemy that drives members away from the fields, but rather, as a potential ally.

LND has decided to bring to the virtual field people who for different types of impediments seek a way to socialize and be equally included. The aim is to eliminate barriers, distinctions and make these people an integral part of the national sport par excellence. Thus, everyone can experience the real team game and those who normally play the sport themselves can now test themselves in front of the monitor, make new friends and find new ways to deal with competitiveness, experience team sports and evaluate their own abilities.

EVENT DETAILS

The first stop of the 2k20 Roadshow was held in Coverciano (FI) on Saturday, October 26. Boys and girls played soccer, but not on a regulation playing field, but at a Fifa 2020 tournament to spend a day in the name of clean sport and inclusion. We, for the occasion, created a 150-square-meter synthetic turf area where the stations of the egamers were positioned and they challenged each other with joypads.

It was a great "full immersion," during which participants also had the opportunity to visit the "Football Museum." Among the participants were not only young egamers, but also industry professionals, academics and representatives of LND. The goal of the day: to lay the foundations of this project with strong social resonance in order to get it off the ground and improve stage by stage. Numerous sports clubs have already registered for the tournaments that will take place during the next stages of the tour. We will be there!
