A great fan of walking fotball, Andrea Desana took advantage of the foreign presence to let the players visit the headquarters of the “Centro Doc” in Casale al Castello, of which he is president, to make known the story of the conquest of the Doc which is mainly due to his father , Senator Paolo Desana. The “football walk”, to put it in Italian, that is the one in which you do not run, was born in England in 2011 to meet the football passion of over 50 males and over 40 females.
In 2016 he arrived in Italy thanks to the Novara section of the National Union of Veterans of Sport “with the aim of offering – explains Cibin – even those who can no longer practice traditional football the opportunity to continue with a similar but not strenuous activity , which offers various psychophysical benefits ». There are two rules: you must not rush and you must compare yourself with people of the same age. A physical activity that excludes dangers and contrasts. “And that – adds Cibin – is liked, amused and made known to other people”.
