If Miniature Italy after years continues to arouse passion in its many visitors, in Riccione there is a Miniature football that has a lot of succes.

From April 14 to May 4, 2008 the International under 14 Football Tournament Asar Riccione is coming back, at its 36th edition, to animate the green field in Vespucci Street.

Considered one of the most important launching pad for under 14 footballers, the spring competition is organised by Asar Riccione association, in collaboration with the sports assessorship of the town, and sees the most promising players at international level facing.

Kids are young but they yet know how to give the audience strong emotions.

We can already see them performing the same feats of champions: hyperbolic shots, triangular, filtering steps, overlays, diagonal, diving plastic, tunnel. Their performances are less technical but full of grit.
And what about their enthusiasm when they chase the ball and the poetry of their touch?!

In Riccione you will see them running, dribbling, springing forward and saving a difficult shot, right until the last breath and without saving their young energy, because they well know that the opportunity to display their talents is great.

Maybe someone has already in mind a particolar way to celebrate a goal, just like their beloved champions (Pato’s heart, Totti’s dummy, Toni’s airplane)… And who knows if his glance will tenderly wander in the gallery looking for the joyful eyes of his parents, even before for those severe of mister.

We hope that parents, for their part, as well as encouraging children from the terrace, have also inculcated in them the ideals of sportsmanship, fairness and respect for the adversary.

So that sport is lived by these young players in a healthy and clean way, in the football field of Riccione and everywhere their passion will lead them tomorrow.
