Serie B is starting to warm up its engines in view of the drafting of the calendar for the next season that will be revealed in La Spezia on Wednesday from 7:00 pm onwards. The evening will be presented by the journalist Barbara Cirillo with the comedian Dario Vergassola who will be the host. Special guests are three former footballers such as Di Natale, Sansovini and Cacia. This is the press release from Lega B:
“The new 2024/2025 Serie BKT sports season will officially kick off on Wednesday 10 July with the presentation of the calendar, once again asymmetrical, organised by the Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie B in synergy with the Spezia Calcio club.
The location of the event is the central Piazza Europa in La Spezia, where the 38 days of the 93rd edition of the “Campionato degli Italiani” will be revealed. As always, one of the twenty cities of the tournament will be the protagonist of the event to once again demonstrate the inseparable bond between the LNPB and the territories of the peninsula.
President Mauro Balata’s desire to enhance the symbolic places of our country and, in particular, that of the cities that make up the BKT Series has been confirmed.
Piazza Europa was created by excavating the Cappuccini Hill towards the end of the 1920s, and its name is a dedication to our continent in recognition of all its inhabitants and those who have contributed to the development of civilization. It is one of the most beautiful and airy squares in the city, and its renovation was completed in 1960 with a porphyry paving and white ornamental strips, and is dominated from upstream by the bulk of the Cathedral of Christ the King.
On the sea side, instead, since 2016, four fountains have been present along its sides, designed by architect Carlo Alberto Cozzani. These have replaced a long rectangular fountain, designed by architect Alberto Di Sacco around the 60s of the last century.
The new Kombat™ Ball Serie BKT 2024/2025 will be presented during the eventdesigned again this year by Kappa®, which represents the partnership renewed for the eighth consecutive year with the Turin company, demonstrating a now consolidated relationship. The ball is a concentration of technology and aerodynamics that offers improved grip and optimal control on any type of surface.
The evening, hosted by Barbara Cirillo and Dario Vergassola from La Spezia, will be enriched by moments of entertainment with the Malvax band, but also by guests from the football world such as Antonio Di Natale, Daniele Cacia and Marco Sansovini to remember the mission of Serie B to enhance players at a national level, three goal scorers who have scored a lot in Serie B contributing to the spectacle of this championship. The former Empoli player, for example, after three years in Serie B became Udinese’s most prolific player ever and then joined the national team, Cacia is the second all-time scorer in Serie B after Schwoch, and finally Sansovini, who grew up and was valued by Spezia, was one of the magnificent three in Zeman’s Pescara attack that won promotion to Serie A”.
