Parma, 13 April 2026 – The usual programme of activities accompanying every home match at the Stadio Ennio Tardini returned once again ahead of the clash between Parma and Napoli. Activities ranged from social responsibility projects to celebrations of the club’s history, reaffirming Parma’s commitment to strengthening the bond between the club, its partners and the local community.

ALWAYS WITH BLUE

One of the key initiatives was Always With Blue, a project dedicated to raising awareness about the autistic spectrum that will work alongside the club throughout April. For the occasion, the team took to the pitch wearing their blue fourth kit — the colour representing autism — customised with a special patch and squad numbers decorated with drawings by children from the Always With Blue social promotion association. Seventy young participants and their families were welcomed in the Petitot Stand and experienced the thrill of stepping onto the pitch during half-time. The club’s social commitment also extended to the Serafino Lounge, where two autistic young people from the Cooperativa Albatros supported the hospitality service after completing a training programme organised with Parma Quality Restaurant and Fondazione Bambini e Autismo.

MUSEUM CLUB EXPERIENCE

Pre-match activities inside the Museo Ernesto Ceresini began with the traditional talk organised by the Associazione Parma Museum, followed by an appearance from executive chef Nello Deriggi of Bstrò. Catering for the event was provided by Polo Parma.

On the institutional side, CEO Federico Cherubini presented a Parma shirt to Vincenzo Onorato, president of Moby Lines, while an illustration by Osvaldo Casanova for The Parmigianer was gifted to Nicola Lombardo, Head of Communications at Napoli.

Among the guests were Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna, former Parma player and coach Stefano Pioli, ex-midfielder Gabriele Pin — who played for the club between 1992 and 1996 — and writer Paolo Nori.

The day once again highlighted the club’s close ties with its community and the role of the museum as a meeting place for figures from the sporting, cultural and institutional worlds.
