“Having a champion on and off the field like Javier Zanetti and his Foundation on our side will give an extraordinary contribution to promote Calcio .com among all football fans. They will have the opportunity to learn about curiosities and achievements of the greatest football champions who made the history of this sport, through the story of an extraordinary athlete,” commented Anniina Rantala, Marketing Director at SKS365. “After the restyling of the last few months, this is another step forward in getting closer to the football fans and to a young and digital public. The connection with sport is fundamental, and we will add to this the support for the charity activities carried out by Javier and his foundation”.

“Bringing my association closer to an entity that deals with sport is the strong point of this initiative,” said Javier Zanetti. “In its projects, PUPI Foundation uses sport as a tool to improve behaviour, promote integration and ensure a healthier lifestyle. Thank you Calcio .com for thinking of me and PUPI.”

“We would like to thank Calcio .com for involving our association in their social responsibility activities,” added Paula de la Fuente, founder of the P.U.P.I. Onlus Foundation. “The work of the PUPI Foundation has been carried out for 20 years thanks to the enthusiasm and engagement of companies like yours. Nothing would be possible without the support and commitment of the many people, companies and institutions that are on our side and that, in one way or another, are the architects of what we are now”.
