Today’s episode is all about Italy’s calcio culture – also known as football or soccer depending on where you are from.
Calcio is the most popular sport in the world and that also holds true in Italy with over 1.4 million registered players and over 14,000 teams.
But Calcio is more than a sport in Italy, it’s almost a religion or a cult depending on who you ask.
In this episode:
- we will touch on the origins of this sport,
- discuss some of Italy’s original players,
- and we have some guest speakers that share what Calcio means to them and their lives.
