#Italy — St. Ambroeus FC is a football club founded in Milan, bringing together migrants, refugees and local people, and operating according to the calcio popolare (popular football) philosophy. More than just an amateur football team, the club’s main aim is to use football as a tool for social solidarity, the fight against racism and social integration. The club emerged in 2018 from the experiences of two migrant football teams in Milan: Black Panthers FC: It was formed at the migrant reception centre on Via Aldini. Corelli Boys: It consisted of migrants living at the reception centre on Via Corelli. St. Ambroeus FC emerged from the merger of these two teams. The club was among the first in Italy to have refugees and asylum seekers play in a football league affiliated with the Italian Football Federation, and, according to the municipality, was the first to do so. The club also provides free access to sport for people in disadvantaged circumstances. Going beyond being just a football organisation, it offers its players support with legal matters, healthcare, housing and finding employment. Italian language courses and solidarity projects are also among its activities. The club also has a supporters’ group called Armata Pirata. It is also possible to see anti-fascist banners and Palestinian flags in the stands during matches
