A charity football tournament brought sport and solidarity together in Caiazzo in support of the Provincial LILT of Caserta, using the game to promote regular check-ups and cancer prevention.
The initiative, titled "La Salute in Campo – Facciamo goal con la prevenzione," was held at the municipal sports field "A. Ponsillo" in Caiazzo. According to the validated reports, its central purpose was twofold: to support LILT Caserta and to raise awareness of breast cancer prevention.
Health teams, amateurs and students on the pitch
The tournament brought together mixed representative sides linked to the health sector, local amateur football and schools. Teams reported as taking part included Fondazione Pascale, ASL Veterinaria, Amatori Caiazzo, the Senology unit of Ospedale Cardarelli, ASL Caserta and students from the Liceo "Pietro Giannone."
A dedicated moment for young people involved pupils of the Istituto Comprensivo "Aulo Attilio Caiatino," highlighting the values of sport alongside the health message. The event was presented by organizers as a way to use football as a tool for community gathering and for spreading a culture of prevention, bringing together institutions, health professionals, schools and associations.
The Fondazione Pascale team won the tournament trophy.
Prevention at the centre
The message documented across the sources was consistent: to encourage the public to pay attention to prevention and healthy lifestyles, with particular emphasis on the importance of periodic check-ups and oncological prevention.
The initiative was promoted by LILT as a public-awareness effort, aimed at informing citizens rather than only raising funds. The available sources do not report the amount collected or a detailed breakdown of how the proceeds will be used by LILT.
A format with continuity
This was not an isolated occasion. The same format had already been used for a previous charity football initiative in Caiazzo in 2025, with proceeds also designated for LILT Caserta.
The sources do not clarify the exact date of the edition described by Il Mattino, and preparatory materials have described the format in different terms, leaving open whether recent editions should be presented strictly as a four-team tournament. What the independent sources confirm is the continuity of the idea: football in Caiazzo in support of LILT and prevention.
For readers following local solidarity sport in Campania, the venue to note is the Campo sportivo comunale "A. Ponsillo" in Caiazzo, the documented setting for the tournament.
