Passion for Soccer Where else but Italy could you find four national daily newspapers devoted only to soccer? Where else could you find the most competitive soccer league in the world, with a budget exceeding that of all the Northern European countries combined? Where else but Italy could millions of spectators spend hours each day watching soccer on television? And where else but Italy could stars like Del Pierro, Maldini, Totti and Buffon have status far above the president? Remarkably, Italians do not reserve all their attention for the pros. Any player of any age can count on an audience, especially in international matches – which these cup games are. So be ready for the soccer experience of a lifetime. Before you know it, you’ll be saying, “Ciao, amigo!”
Florence Yet it is also a dynamic place, filled with energy and life. Florence’s soccer scene, located outside the city center, includes the stadium of Fiorentina, the perpetually strong Serie A club. A little further out is Coverciano, the national training center of the Italian Soccer Association. Close to nearly every suburban apartment building are small pitches, where calcio seems to be played non-stop. Premier International Tours arranges matches with clubs just outside Florence, in the lovely hills of Tuscany.
