9 July – 14:08 – MILAN

After intense months of selections, dreams cultivated between auditions, travel and sacrifices throughout the Italian territory, Like a Pro finally reaches its final act. Saturday 12 July, in the splendid setting of the Tirrenia Olympic preparation center, the long -awaited final event will be held: a unique event, where the best young talents that emerged during the tour will have the opportunity to get involved and demonstrate all their value in front of the careful eyes of the Genoa scouts. Saturday will not only be a goal, but above all a new starting point. Because Like a Pro does not represent the end of a path, but the concrete start of a dream that takes shape: that of transforming the passion for football into a real professional opportunity. The guys who challenge each other are the symbol of a generation that has never stopped believing in their own means, which started from below, from the suburbs, dusty fields, and has conquered visibility and respect with the only language she knows: the talent put at the service of the team, the daily sacrifice, the determination.

The day will be rich and articulated: technical sessions led by experts in the sector, challenges among the most promising profiles, moments of comparison and reflection, exclusive interviews, digital content behind the scenes and motivational speechs held by the protagonists of the edition, which will share their experiences to inspire the new levers. To tell this extraordinary experience there will also be Creator, Ambassador and journalists, ready to return every emotion: because like a pro they do not only talk about those who score, win or emerge, but above all of those who have never surrendered, of those who have fought every day to get here. The final is not an epilogue, but a real beginning. A trampoline towards the future. Because those who have grit, vision and talent, today finally have someone ready to bet on him. If you are really ready to make the jump, this is your moment. This is your opportunity to really become a pro.
