It was planned to be a big challenge to test the level and maturity of our boys, and now that we are back in Zambia we can confirm that yes, it has been a great experience for our team.
To play 10 games in 12 days is something that we can describe as epic and extraordinary, especially if you play against Futsal teams of the highest level.
The team played openly and without fear in all the 10 games, handling the pressure well, especially against the top-teams of the first division (Serie A) and second division (Serie A2) which are teams with strong experienced Italian players and foreign players coming from Brazil, Argentina, Croatia, Venezuela and Spain.
In the International Tournament “Memorial Alessandro Giglioli” Automotive F.C finished 3rd.
In the qualifying stages the boys lost the first game on a penalty shootout against Grosseto (regular time finished 2-2) and won 1-0 the second game vs Mattagnanese.
This qualified our Zambian boys to the final for 3rd-4th place, where Automotive F.C won 6-4 vs the French Team Furiani USJ.
The overall outcome of this Italian tour can be considered very positive, the boys have gained international experience, the management and the coaches received important indications on where the Club needs to work to improve and keep growing.
Now the focus is all on the new Wildcat Zambian Futsal League season 2018/2019.
From Automotive F.C. a huge thank you to all the Italian Clubs who welcomed us with generosity and made us feel home, a special thank you to our Italian friends and coaches Roberto Coccia and Giuliano Di Giosio for the invaluable support and organization of the tour.
