SHPENDI AND VISANI AWARDED AT THE GRAND FOOTBALL GALA

On the evening of Monday, November 10, the fourteenth edition of the Gran Galà del Calcio - Italian Football Awards took place in the splendid setting of Villa Talzano, with Cesena FC among the protagonists.

The event, conceived and produced by manager Donato Alfani and hosted by Gabriele Schiavi and Giada Giacalone, was created to reward all the professionals who distinguished themselves during the year in their respective categories, and has now become one of the most important events on the national football scene.

The Grand Gala jury included Cristian Shpendi in the ideal lineup of the last Serie BKT Championship, awarding him the prize for “Best Top 11 Forward” in the “Serie B - Best Awards 2024/2025” category. Matteo Visani was also awarded in the same category, receiving the “Best Team Manager” award for the 2024/2025 Serie BKT Championship.

“It is an honor for me to receive this award,” said Cristian Shpendi, "which testifies to the value of what was achieved on the field last season. I would like to thank my teammates, the technical staff, and the entire Cesena FC club, with whom I am pleased to share this important award. We are a very united and motivated group, and I hope that this season, both personally and as a team, we can all achieve many more new successes together."

“I am very happy to receive this award,” said Matteo Visani, “which testifies to the important growth of the club, not only on the pitch but also off the pitch. In my work, I am fortunate to be able to rely on a solid and ambitious club that is always ready to provide the team and staff with everything they need to do their best.”
