Capitalising on the popularity of football, the Italian Red Cross is using the sport as a tool to support the integration of asylum seekers and refugees.
Founding a team as part of the AVAIL project, the scheme has seen a squad of 25 asylum seekers hosted at the Bresso reception centre, training together and entering tournaments and leagues alongside local teams in their host community.
Operating in the UK, Ireland, Latvia and Italy, the Amplifying the Voices of Asylum seekers and refugees for Integration and Life skills – or AVAIL – project has been exploring new ways to support integration through the participation of refugees, asylum seekers and host communities.

The AVAIL project is co-funded by the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund of the European Union.
