A significant agreement for the future of football in Ascoli has been formally concluded. Ascoli Calcio 1898, the primary tenant of the `Cino e Lillo Del Duca` municipal stadium, has officially granted a sub-concession of the venue to S.S.D. Atletico Ascoli.
This arrangement permits Atletico Ascoli, who compete in Serie D, to utilize the city`s main stadium for their home fixtures in both the league championship and the Coppa Italia, beginning from the 2025/26 season.
The formalization of this agreement follows a productive meeting held recently at Ascoli Calcio`s headquarters. Representatives from both clubs convened, alongside officials from the Municipality of Ascoli Piceno, including the Councillor for Sport.
Beyond merely sharing facilities, the discussions during this meeting laid the groundwork for a broader, mutually beneficial technical and sporting collaboration. This proposed synergy aims to create pathways for player development within the city`s football ecosystem. For instance, promising young talents from Ascoli Calcio`s youth sector might gain valuable senior experience with Atletico Ascoli, while young players from Atletico could benefit from closer monitoring and support by Ascoli Calcio.
This initiative is presented as a tangible demonstration of Ascoli Calcio President Bernardino Passeri`s stated objective: to maximize the value and involvement of every component within the Ascoli community. By positioning the main club as a central resource, the goal is to strengthen the entire local sports landscape.
In essence, the agreement represents a practical step towards enhanced cooperation between the city`s leading football entities. It ensures that Atletico Ascoli gains access to a high-quality facility fitting for their level of competition, while simultaneously fostering a collaborative environment intended to nurture local talent and consolidate the bond between the clubs and the city they represent. It appears a rather sensible application of shared resources, ensuring the `Del Duca` sees more action while supporting the development of local football.
