The third edition of the "A goal for Valter" football tournament took place on the afternoons of September 1st and 2nd at the "Parco XXV Aprile" stadium in Cannara (PG). This exciting event is organized by ASD Cannara in memory by Valter Baldaccini, a passionate footballer who always had a strong bond with the team of his hometown.
