AIM Group supported the Pepito Day: A celebration of sport and passion

AIM Group was proud to be part of Pepito Day, a special event dedicated to celebrating the career of Giuseppe Rossi, one of Italy’s most talented footballers. The event, organized by Oltre Consulting in collaboration with ACF Fiorentina, brought together football legends such as Gabriel Batistuta, Luca Toni, Antonio Cassano and Sir Alex Ferguson, creating an unforgettable evening at the Stadio Franchi in Florence.

With a long-term partnership with Oltre Consulting, AIM Group played a key role as a sponsor and provided organisational support for this unique initiative. The event combined sport, entertainment and tradition, featuring performances by the Street Clerks and the Historic Parade of the Florentine Republic, with the match broadcast live by DAZN.

‘Being part of this celebration of sport and football was a great pleasure. Once again, we saw the power of sports events in bringing people together and creating strong, emotional connections,’ said Armando Mastrapasqua, General Manager of the Events and Sports Division at AIM Group.

The Pepito Day was more than just a farewell match – it was a heartfelt tribute to an extraordinary career, a night of emotions, and a demonstration of the impact that sports events can have on communities. AIM Group is proud to have contributed to making this event a success.
