Serie A Football Club

A memorable day of sport, celebration, and inclusion came to life at the "Ennio Tardini" Stadium in Parma, which hosted the second edition of the “Tardini for Special by Progetti del Cuore”. The event, now a national benchmark for inclusive football, saw the participation of 38 teams from all over Italy, divided by skill levels into the Yellow, Blue, and Orange categories.
Among the key players of the event were the LINKS, Como 1907’s official team competing in the FIGC's Divisione Calcio Paralimpico e Sperimentale (DCPS). For the second consecutive year, the boys proudly represented the club's biancoblù colors, experiencing the thrill of taking the pitch and wearing the jersey of their favorite team.

The overall outcome of this edition was undoubtedly positive. The LINKS fought with grit and determination in every single match, earning an excellent third-place finish in their group and narrowly missing out on fifth place in the general standings (out of 16 teams), conceding only to Hellas Verona after a hard-fought match.
However, for these boys, the value of football goes far beyond the scoreboard. The driving spirit of the team is built on joy, friendliness, simplicity, and an innate ability to connect and bond with all the other participating clubs. For those hearing about them for the first time, the LINKS describe themselves as a simple group, united by respect for their opponents, mutual encouragement, and a deep, long-standing bond with Como 1907.
Before every kickoff, the players gather in a circle for the battle cry that defines them: “NON MOLLARE MAI” (Never Give Up). This motto is the true soul of the team, one that the staff strives to pass on to the boys every day, both on the pitch and, most importantly, in their daily lives.
Taking part in such a prominent event has done nothing but strengthen this team spirit, creating unforgettable bonds and proving, once again, the beauty of sport without barriers.

Great success at the Tardini Stadium in Parma for the first edition of the Alpha League, the largest national 11-a-side football tournament reserved for high schools from the 17 cities of the Serie A Enilive 2025/2026. The event, born within the "A Tutta Classe" project of the Lega Calcio Serie A, was organized by ASD Organizzazione Nazionale Sport Studentesco.

This important showcase marked the historic first participation of Como 1907. Representing the Larian colors on the pitch were the students of the Istituto Sant'Elia from Cantù, who embarked on an extraordinary journey through Italy's most prestigious venues. A top-tier traveling path saw the boys experience stages like true professionals: from the round of 16 in Florence at the Gino Bozzi municipal stadium, to the quarterfinals at the prestigious Juventus training center in Vinovo, passing through the semifinal at the historic Arena Civica in Milan. The culmination of this incredible adventure took place on Saturday, June 6th, right on the pitch of the Tardini Stadium, where the Sant'Elia students crowned a perfect run by triumphing in the final and capturing the Champions title.

In addition to the great sporting success, the tournament represented an unforgettable experience for all the students. For many of them, the Alpha League was a true opportunity for redemption, a way to start believing in themselves, their abilities, and their dreams again, while cementing friendships that will last over time.

Como 1907 embraced the initiative from the very beginning, actively supporting the team and the staff by providing official presentation kits and match uniforms. This involvement made the boys feel like an integral part of the biancoblu family and allowed them to stand out at every stage, receiving compliments from organizers and institutions for their demonstrated elegance and professionalism.

Despite the upcoming change on the bench, with the current coach preparing for state exams and the subsequent "passing of the baton," the bond between Istituto Sant'Elia and Como 1907 is now unbreakable. Next season, the boys will have the pride and honor of defending the title as reigning champions, driven by the support and affection of the entire city.
