IVREA
Next Monday, April 26th, is a very important date for the practice of outdoor sports, such as five-a-side football: you can go back to the pitch and have fun
The Aca, the Canavese referees association, is ready to take the field again to direct the matches of both the championship and the various tournaments that should take place soon, as the manager of the Aca teams, Mirko Garau, tells us: “We will resume with the friendly, waiting in May, if the situation allows it (Piedmont in the yellow zone) to conclude the various Aca football championships (five-six games are still missing, ed). We then want to start and finish the Master, which is now in its eighteenth edition, the longest-running amateur championship held in Ivrea. In addition, a championship organized with Bruno Cossano always of 5-a-side football and the CopAca, of 11-a-side football, which we are setting up. Turning instead to the summer tournaments, they should, the conditional in these cases is a must, the goal is to play the Perosa Canavese 7-a-side football tournament in June, organized by the Pro loco di Perosa and directed by Aca referees and that of the Canottieri in Ivrea, also of 7-a-side football, created by the Canottieri Lago Sirio club and always directed by ACA referees. In July, this time for 5-a-side football, the Coppa El Gioviale Cup could be played, the former Copa Fuente, which will return after a few years, to its original location in Burolo – explains Garau – This is the picture of the a situation that we hope will be able to bring to fruition. Then in September it would be fantastic to be able to organize the Solativo-Solidativo tournament at the Ferrando wine shop, an event that is always a great success every year. At the moment, however – continues Garau – it is unthinkable to be able to organize tournaments on weekends, such as the 24-hour seven-a-side football tournament or the Quagliuzzo bar tournament because the risk of gatherings is very high and we cannot afford to take further steps. false, especially in this very delicate moment ».
Mirko Garau then focuses on the difficulties that some teams may encounter, especially those who play their own home games in an indoor gym: “You can play again, but you have to do it outdoors and for some clubs this is a problem , because they are forced to choose another destination than the one established at the beginning of the season – explains Garau -. Furthermore, it will be necessary to understand how to use the changing rooms, unfortunately still off limits at the moment, and the showers. We are all cheering so that the situation can improve with the passage of time and we can return to rejoice all together, sparkling our eyes for a goal of fine workmanship, or for a play that draws applause, as we did until two years ago, when not there was Covid ». –
