The 18+ World Players Tour 2010 successfully came to an end today for the fourth year in a row giving GISS players a lifetime opportunity to play with and against top professional Italian serie A, B, C, teams, and to have an opportunity to be seen by these top clubs and scouts who come from all parts of Europe to sign free contracted players. 20 under 21 players were selected from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Croatia to play alongside eight top Italian professional ex-serie A players.

Results include:

Catania Calcio: 5-1 lost serie A
Chievo Calcio: 5-0 lost serie A
Cittadella: 4-0 lost serie B
Siena Calcio: 2-0 lost serie B
Venezia: 3-0 lost serie D
Sambonifacese: 1-1 drew serie C


Directors comments: "Another great showcase of success to put GISS on the map where real football counts. Our players showed and put in 100% and lost games with dignity, not just being sparring partners for clubs in their pre-season, but making it hard for them to dominate. For example we were 1-0 up for 70 minutes against Serie A club Catania with a full squad on the park including ex-Barcelona striker Maxi Lopez and Japan Captain Marimoto, just to mention two. So far six players have signed pro contracts, and more will be called up for further trials after their outstanding performances. Well done to all participants, and I hope you take back this exclusive experience and grow from it. All the best!"

Trials in Falcade (Belluno), Italy, held in collaboration between Vicenza Calcio and GISS have officially ended today, and saw over 50 under 18yrs players from GISS academies worldwide coming from Australia, Mexico, Canada, New Zealand, Croatia and Italy.

The players were trained by Vicenza Calcio top youth coaches, who were impressed by the level of players selected for trials.

Director Morris Pagniello comments: "Congratulations to all trialists for the great professionalism shown in the past twelve days. Now I anxiously await Vicenza Calcio's notification of the selected players for season 2010/11. Good luck to all."

Genova International has officially affiliated with Serie B Italian club Vicenza Calcio, a famous club with a history of launching careers of world class players like Roberto Baggio and Paolo Rossi. The club has signed six GISS players in the past year, and is now offering official football trials for the season 2010/11 to GISS players.

Director's comments: "This is an honour for our academy to work in partnership with such an historic club, and for Vicenza Calcio to run trials exclusively for GISS members and to select four players for next season."
