BUENOS AIRES – It was a day the Inter Campus Argentina boys and girls will never forget. There they were, minding their own business getting ready for training when out of the blue appeared a familiar face: Javier Zanetti. Pupi to them.
The Inter president mingled in with the kids, showing at least as much enthusiasm as the youngsters, who all had a whale of a time, laughing and joking with the former Nerazzurri skipper. Some of them even gave him a few technical pointers...
The local trainers were also excited by Zanetti's visit. A group of ten coaches made up of Pupi Foundation staff and teachers from Parque Educativo in Puerto Iguazu, another Inter Campus Argentina centre, were taking part in Inter Campus clinics.
Elsewhere there was a party on Tuesday 5 July as the Pupi Foundation celebrated its 15th anniversary. 650 people turned up for the occasion, with the likes of Nicolas Burdisso and Diego Milito joining founding partners Javier and Paula Zanetti and a host of other Nerazzurri friends.
