World Cup 2026. We're dreaming of it, we're closer to it, we're fighting for it. Huge thanks to TIM and FIGC - Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio for giving me the chance to collaborate on a special night in Bergamo for the Italian National team, our beloved Azzurri on a mission to finally get back to a World Cup after a long, too long absence. As proud Italian, my best memories in football and in life are linked to our National team. That World Cup 2006 was probably the best moment of my childhood, my best school friends, that magic summer, Totti, Cannavaro, Buffon, Del Piero... and of course, Fabio Grosso. Goosebumps. The Euros after Covid, pure joy after a very difficult year for our country. How many moments, how many games, how many dreams. Now, we want to be back. We've to be back, for ourselves, our love for the game and the National team, for entire generations not being able to see Italy at the World Cup. That's not acceptable. Italy v Northern Ireland has been the perfect first step. 2-0, home win, a clean sheet, keeping our fears away ahead of the final against Bosnia. Believing in our group, hoping to spend those magic nights all together again in the summer. ๐ฒ The reel in collab with TIM and Azzurri generated over 6M views in 12 hours, 1.3k comments and a lot of love for how we presented the game; simple and genuine, pure passion for Italy. TIM are proud historical partner of the National team, the new shirt did the rest to get enthusiastic comments. ๐ We've reached over 9M people with Instagram stories bringing behind the scenes of the game, making you feel the Italian vibe for an historical night to prepare for the key final on Tuesday. The perfect collaboration. A fresh, modern way to follow the National team. Pure passion, no need for anything else. Enjoy the stadium. Feel the vibe. Show our colors, follow the dream. One more step still needed. First step on many, as the new way to follow the National team is here. And as proud Italians, we all hope this is just the beginning. Grazie!
