MILAN – The Inter Club family brings together the many thousands of Nerazzurri fans that have decided to channel their passion for all things black and blue into an official fan club.
There are Inter Clubs all over Italy and indeed the world, and it’s no different in Emilia-Romagna. We caught up with Inter Club Modena Interista president Stefano Sivalli, who gave us the inside track on how the biggest Inter Club in Emilia-Romagna goes about its daily business.
When and how did Inter Club Modena Interista come about?
"Inter Club Modena Interista was founded in July 2010 from the ashes of the old Inter Club Modena. We wanted to bring a fan club back to the city in order to engage with and bring together all the Nerazzurri fans here."
Is there an event you’ve organised that makes you particularly proud?
"In February 2011, we teamed up with the Inter Club Coordination Centre to organise the Modena stage of the tour of the Champions League trophy. In May 2015, we had the honour of hosting Javier Zanetti charity event for the PUPI Foundation."
Is there an Inter Club Coordination Centre event that your members particularly enjoyed?
"The members have fond memories of Appiano Day, which was a great chance to watching training and meet the players. The local meet and greet we had also went down really well because the members were able to take loads of photos with the Nerazzurri stars."
How do you get junior members involved?
"We’re always looking at the best ways to get more junior members involved with our Inter Club. Right now we organise PlayStation tournaments at our headquarters."
How else do you support the club?
"We organise at least one coach per home game so we can all go to San Siro. Twice a year – usually around Christmas or at the end of the season – we lay on a get-together for all the members. We also open our headquarters for every match. It gets used as a meeting point where members can request information and organise our activities."
