The Greeks: Crucible of Civilization

In the fourth and fifth centuries, B.C., the Greeks built an empire that stretched across the Mediterranean from Asia to Spain. They laid the foundation of modern science, politics, warfare and philosophy, and produced some of the most breathtaking art and architecture the world has ever seen. It was perhaps the most spectacular flourishing of imagination and achievement in recorded history.

Years of innocence

“Years of innocence” signifies the return to the sports memories that have been the balm of the souls of our grandparents, our fathers and those younger people who have heard the narratives or studied the photographs of the great idols of older times. We return to the age of football, when figures of the sport emerged from a completely different setting compared to that of recent years. In this day and age, now that the era of “prosperity” has lapsed into decline, looking at those figures who excelled in conditions of extreme poverty, hunger, terror and the weight of History, offers the most exciting model for today's young people. Through football, we focus on a Greece, true but not ideal, that inspired us, that was lost and which we wish to restore in order to inspire us again, in the midst of such a gloomy juncture.
