KABUL – Having chosen to serve Italy as Alpini and other military members,
their life is one of borders. Now they’re in Kabul, where they have requested
to form an Inter Club named after Giuseppe Prisco. Thirty motivated Nerazzurri
fans that serve as part of the International Security Assistance Force; the
mission that supports the Afghan government in the development and
strengthening of local institutions. The purpose is to make the country of
Afghanistan more stable and secure.
General Giorgio Battisti, currently the Chief of Staff to the ISAF Command and
in-Theatre Italian Senior National Representative (in the centre in the photo),
is a lifelong Nerazzurri fan and has carried his passion with him on all of his
missions. Our first contact with him dates back to 2004 when he was in Kabul
and, in an e-mail, humbly asked us how he could watch our games.
For these soldiers, Inter is something they carry with them around the world,
even in the most challenging and difficult moments.
The ISAF also carries out humanitarian assistance for the population. And just
last year, in October, Inter supported the Italian Air Force in Herat in
festivities for the local children.
