Parma, 20 October 2025 – Parma Calcio and Genoa CFC have joined forces to support two young children, Pietrino (aged 2) and Leonardo (aged 3), helping to cover the significant costs of their highly personalised intensive rehabilitation programmes at the Napa Center in London – a treatment plan that offers the hope of improving their fragile quality of life.

Ahead of Genoa vs. Parma, the Serie A Matchday 7 fixture, Pietrino and Leonardo walked onto the pitch to a warm ovation from the entire stadium. Parma Calcio and Genoa CFC now hope to turn that applause into tangible support: this week, a charity auction will take place on Genoa CFC’s official eBay page (ebay.it/usr/genoa_cfc), featuring match-worn and match-prepared shirts from both teams from Sunday’s game at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris. To further contribute, Parma Calcio have added a special badge on the inside of the shirts used during the matchday as a unique gesture of solidarity.

Together with Genoa CFC, Parma Calcio invites all fans to take part in and support the charity auction, helping Pietrino, Leonardo, and their families in their journey of care and hope.
