The fifteenth edition of the Memorial Davide Arcidiacono, a five-a-side football tournament, scheduled in Comiso on 17 and 18 June at the Zona 167 field, is coming to life.

It starts on Saturday 17 June at 16. Sunday morning, at 9, the start of the knockout phase with the first match of the quarterfinals. In the afternoon, however, the two semi-finals are scheduled, with the final scheduled for Sunday at 21.
