It's not true that Italy isn't at the World Cup. Of course, it's incredibly sad to watch others play, but some Italians do have a role in this tournament. There's Ecuador's assistant coach, Haaland's personal trainer, and, of course, Brazil's coach. Venanzio Ciampa has one of the most incredible stories.
He arrived in the United States as an immigrant, helped Rai with TV productions at the '94 World Cup, and today collaborates with FIFA, takes LeBron James golfing in Scotland, and is the president of the Street Soccer USA project in Miami. He's building a football pitch in Overtown, an area where the luxury of Miami Beach doesn't exist, with the aim of strengthening the community through football.
