Spal Earthquake: Youth Sector Hit, But Under 16 and 17 in Playoff Race

Il earthquake which has shocked the Spal and our city in the last few days has also been devastatingly affected by the youth sector. As is known, one of the consequences of the disappearance of the white and blue club from professional football is the elimination of the nursery of via Copparo, one of the best in the national panorama. At least in the context of Lega Pro. Over the course of the summer, therefore, the new Spal will have to start completely from scratch in the reconstruction of the youth sector, with the aim of following in the footsteps of Ruggero Ludergnani, who a dozen years ago showed the main road by setting up a screaming youth system, envied in every corner of Italy.

An exceptional job then continued by the various managers and coaches of the Fabbri sports center. It therefore seems surreal that a couple of white and blue youth selections are still in the running in the playoff of the national championships of the category. In this case, Eros Schiavon's Under 16 and Emiliano Corsi's Under 17, who regardless of what happens in the future, continue their respective adventures with passion and enthusiasm. Today it's the turn of Spal Under 16, who at 15 pm at the Fabbri sports center will host Ascoli in the second leg of the playoff semi-final.

A week ago the white and blues conquered the Picchio field in an authoritative manner (0-2 the score), so they start as favorites to reach the final. For the record, the other Under 16 semifinal pits Albinoleffe and Padova, who in the first leg drew 1-1. For the Spal Under 17 of mister Corsi instead the appointment is set for next Friday at 20,30:XNUMX at the Scopigno stadium in Rieti, where the white and blues will meet Ternana in the playoff semifinal.

The winner will then face one of Pro Vercelli or Benevento in the final scheduled for next Sunday at 20pm on the same pitch.
