Diadora Trophy: a great success!

An enthusiastic crowd braved the cold at Caerano San Marco’s Stadium yesterday evening to attend the First Diadora Trophy, a quadrangular tournament which was attended by Two Diadora representative teams, the Italian Singers National Team and the Italian Referees National Team, together on the same pitch for the very first time.

The referees, whose captain was Pierluigi Collina, immediately showed to have much more then 90 minutes in their legs, and went on to win with ease their games against the Diadora international team (3-1) and the Italian Singer National Team (1-0).

The Diadora Italian Team was the only one able to equal the referees, but the goal difference gave the cup to the referees.

Popular tv presenter Gianni Ippoliti refereed the tournament, and indulged in a little cabaret with people’s favourites Gianni Morandi and Pierluigi Collina, much to the crowd’s delight.

Famous actor Neri Marcorè also channelled his inner Luciano Ligabue to give the crowd one of his most popular imitations.This night was just the start of a series of celebrations for Diadora’s 60th anniversary, which will take place in 2008.
