Emanuele Filiberto in Torre Annunziata: “I have a dream, Savoia Calcio in Serie B”

Prince Emanuele Filiberto di Savoy presented today at Torre Annunziata the project Casa Reale Holding SpA, a joint stock company that will be listed on the MY BAG di Vienna and which will have a broad scope in entrepreneurship, sport and social issues. The aim is to detect the Savoy Football, a team founded in 1908 which currently plays in Eccellenza, together with a group of entrepreneurs.

Emanuele Filiberto: “My dream is to bring Savoia to Serie B”

“I have a dream for the Savoy Football: bring it in three or four years in series C and then in B - he said -. And I am here today to tell you that all together, city and fans, we will take back Savoia Calcio and we will make this great team grow. We have one goal: to make it climb to the top and make it grow where it was before and where it deserves to be. This is what I want to do and we will really give it our all”.

Emanuele Filiberto: “I will create an academy for the youth of the South”

Not just the Savoy Football, but "another very important point is to create a sports academy, take the young people who are our future and take them off the streets, show them what the nobility of sport and work is. The nobility of sweating and making an effort”.

The project has a social scope and aims to recover young people from disadvantaged areas of the city and the South in general. “We count a lot on young people and we have the idea of ​​creating a youth sports academy and putting many young people from Southern Italy around us, making it a real nursery and taking care of them with scholarships”, he added.

Matachione: “We will play football in Torre Annunziata”

“We will play football in Torre Annunziata”, echoed the manager Nazario Matachione, coordinator of the new holding. "We have put a team of professionals on the field who will have to protect the club. After what happened recently, our only idea is that all the people who have been in Savoia Calcio in the last 3 years stay away from the club."

The new holding company has already reached an agreement with the sponsor, which will be Givova Scafati from President Giovanni Acanfora: “The original Savoy coat of arms must return to the shirts, because now there will be a truly royal club thanks to Prince Emanuele Filiberto.”

Casa Reale Holding SpA, explains a note, left Torre Annunziata today, after the signing of the agreement in the presence of Prince Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy, of Nazario Matachione, coordinator of the project; Marco Limoncelli, president of Banco Preziosi Nazionale SpA, who will manage the crowdfunding campaign.

The criminal lawyer is also on the field Elio D'Aquino, the civil lawyer Carmine Romano, legal and technical manager of the company, with his sports consultants Eduardo Chiacchioe Vincenzo Fogliamanzillo, and Marcello Pica, an entrepreneur and shipping manager who has held international management positions, who will hold the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Holding.

“We are waiting for the official report on the health of the company – explained Matachione – then we will present our official offer for the acquisition of the title of Savoia Calcio 1908. In the meantime, we are already working with Stefano Cirillo and his Azzurri Football School of Torre Annunziata to create a large youth team, a football school with the coat of arms of the Royal House of Savoy.

A company that will work in the entrepreneurial field with all the tools and benefits for those who invest in the project, but will also be active in social work. We have already thought about scholarships for talents who pass the auditions but who have not had comfortable economic situations behind them, to support them in their path of sporting growth. A wide-ranging project that looks at the immense resources that Torre Annunziata, its district and all of Southern Italy offer”.

For the President of the Holding, Marcello Pica, "the project is ambitious, each of us is ready to do their part. The intention is to offer a concrete opportunity to young people and give them the chance to emerge. It will not be football, but a social and entrepreneurial commitment for the territory". "Our project starts from a different level - he remarked -.

Among the various operational interventions there is football, but we look at the financial area in general and we have important institutional partners. Among these, there will be Mastercard, with a paper account project, which will also serve to coordinate the opening of accounts that will have the name “Casa Reale”, with the aim of recovering a significant share capital, to then return it to investors in the form of shares and give prestige to the company. The first step will be to save Savoia Calcio 1908, as stated by Prince Emanuele Filiberto, but at the same time to provide it with financial solidity to return a competitive team to the fans”.
