Atalanta Football Camp Tirana

Tirana, June 3, 2022 – We are happy to announce that Atalanta Football Camp organized for the first time in Tirana, Albania from Intesa Sanpaolo Bank Albania, was successfully concluded today with the graduation ceremony.

This sport’s event was held from 1-3 June, in Tirana, with the participation of 120 children ages 8-12.  Intesa Sanpaolo Bank Albania was the main partner of this project together with the Intesa Sanpaolo International Subsidiary Banks Division.

Participants came from vulnerable families, clients and staff. During the three days of the camp, the children experienced the joy of learning to play football through suitable exercises and games. Participating children were provided with a unique opportunity to learn about the skills, tricks and secrets to master this sport by working with the best Atalanta youth team coaches. This was a learning experience with both an educational and recreational scope. All participating children received an official uniform kit of Atalanta B.C. team, medal souvenirs and diplomas officially recognizing their participation in Atalanta Football Camp Tirana.

Alessandro D’Oria, CEO of Intesa Sanpaolo Bank Albania stated: “We are very satisfied for the successful organization and completion of the Atalanta Football Camp in Albania. I would like to thank all the actors who collaborated for the organization of the event and all the children who joined this journey.
