Como 1907

Officially adopted as a Special Team of Como 1907 in 2022, the paralympic team LINKS, part of the FIGC’s Paralympic and Experimental Football Division, promotes inclusion through sport. It offers young people with disabilities the opportunity to challenge themselves, feel part of a team, and experience football as a tool for growth and participation.

Born from the idea that “inclusion is a team game,” this project is aimed at children and young people with autism spectrum disorders or intellectual and relational disabilities. Promoted for over five years by Fondazione Somaschi and Como 1907, the initiative combines sport and education to introduce participants to football and physical activity, using augmented reality and cognitive training to strengthen skills and emotional development.

This project, led by the OSHa Como association and supported by Fondazione Como ETS, has long promoted and coordinated sports activities for people with disabilities. Through disciplines such as competitive swimming, wheelchair tennis, and table tennis, the project fosters inclusion, autonomy, and physical, psychological, social, and cultural well-being.
