The first news around the ACR Messina are certainly not the ones that will heat up the streets. The decision, not made official (probably next week), to join Messina Futsal, newly promoted to the A2 Elite series, and that of wanting to set up a women’s team (an idea already announced last October in the first presentation conference of the Racing City Group) are an important step towards becoming increasingly rooted in the territory, but they cannot represent the turning points invoked by the entire Giallorossi environment, still hurt by the bitter relegation to Eccellenza in the playout against Ragusa.

The message for the re-election of the mayor Federico Basile was the opportunity to break the long silence, making clear the desire to present «in the next few days the Acr Messina project to the city: a long-term vision for the club and for the bond with its people».
