Cagliari Calcio a 5 Femminile is born . The initiative is the result of an agreement with Mediterranea Cagliari , a historic sports club in the Sardinian capital that for almost thirty years has represented a point of reference and excellence in this sport and that last season, with the women's team, obtained its first historic promotion to the top division .
With the creation of Cagliari Calcio a 5 Femminile, the Club is thus expanding its sporting offering: from the Academy to professionalism, passing through the national men's and women's youth teams and, from today, also for futsal athletes.
A central role in the birth of the initiative and its future development must be attributed to the partner Gruppo Grendi , a leading company in the maritime freight transport sector. Close to the rossoblù club for years, and already a partner of the women's eleven-a-side team, Grendi has decided to support, as main partner, the rossoblù girls in their first ever participation in the top national championship. The company's logo will consequently appear in a central position on the official Cagliari Calcio a 5 Femminile kits branded Eye Sport . The Sardinian technical partner, who is preparing to face the third year of collaboration with the rossoblù Club, has in fact decided to embrace the path and objectives of the Club not limiting itself to supplying sportswear for the new women's five-a-side football team, but taking on an active role in the development of the project.
"We are extremely proud - the words of Tommaso Giulini , president of Cagliari Calcio - to announce the birth of Cagliari Calcio a 5 Femminile, a project that represents a new challenge for our club and for the Sardinian sports movement . This collaboration with Mediterranea Cagliari is a further step forward in the common path of valorizing the talent of young athletes, regardless of gender, and the desire to compete at the highest levels. We want to provide players with the best opportunities to develop their skills, respecting the values of integrity, ambition and perseverance that have always distinguished us. We are grateful to Grendi for their constant support and for having decided to join us in this new project with the same enthusiasm. Their presence as main partner is a strong signal of the goodness and trust in a project that can make a significant contribution to the development of women's football activity in Sardinia".
"After 29 years of participation in five-a-side football championships, reaching Serie A was a great satisfaction - adds Corrado Melis , president of Mediterranea Cagliari - Being the only Sardinian team in the top championship, both men's and women's, made us reflect on the sense of responsibility of having to represent Sardinia in the best possible way. For this reason, our thoughts immediately went to Cagliari Calcio, an indisputable point of reference for the Sardinian people. From here the idea of proposing the inclusion of Serie A five-a-side football in the prestigious sporting history of Cagliari was born. Sincere thanks go to president Tommaso Giulini who enthusiastically welcomed our proposal and Costanza Musso who with the Grendi Group will support our sports project and our social initiatives for the promotion of gender equality. Wearing the Cagliari shirt will be a great honor for the girls of our first team and the Under 19 . This responsibility encourages us to work hard to ensure that every member is always an example of loyalty and fairness for all the girls who want to try their hand at football and five-a-side football."
