Cagliari Calcio youngsters help to protect the environmental heritage

On Monday 6 June 2022, in the aftermath of World Environment Day and National Sports Day, twenty athletes from Cagliari Calcio Under-15 team took part in cleaning the beautiful Calamosca beach and surrounding area on the island of Sardinia.

Cagliari Calcio has a strong focus on Sustainability and a desire to make a real commitment to protect and improve the world we live in. One of their #BeAsOne goals is the reduction of energy, water, and material waste in every area of the club’s operation, with a focus on facilities open to the public.

There are many ways to help one’s community and territory and Cagliari Calcio’s youngsters athletes, together with their staff and Legambiente volunteers, helped clean and collect rubbish on the beach at Cala Mosca. The Calamosca Restaurant and Le Terrazze di Calamosca together with the Calamosca Association set up the ‘Calamosca Foundation’ Promoting Committee, launching a series of actions related to the environment and sustainability to safeguard the Baia del Faro. The first meeting took place this Monday and ended with a convivial moment offered by the Calamosca Foundation Promoting Committee.

”I would like to thank each and every person who has collaborated to realise this wonderful initiative. We are proud to be among the partners together with Legambiente and Be As One, a project that spreads the right sporting values and stirs consciences, creating a more responsible society. We would like there to be many more days like this in the future.” (….) “Thank you for your contribution, remember that if tomorrow you will be athletes, you must first of all be men.”
Silvana Lenzu, former athlete of the national basketball team and Cus Cagliari and President of the Calamosca Foundation
