First official Vicario fan club founded ahead of Tottenham match | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur can expect a wave of local support in the UEFA Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain, because it’s the host city of the first Guglielmo Vicario fan club.

The two teams will face off at the Stadio Friuli in Udine for the European Super Cup on August 13, between the winners of the Champions League and Europa League trophies.

While PSG have Italy international Gianluigi Donnarumma in the side, the local fans will all be behind Spurs for one very specific reason.

The world’s first Vicario fan club has been founded in Udine, which is the hometown of the 28-year-old goalkeeper.

He came up through the Udinese youth academy, going on to play for Venezia, Cagliari, Perugia, Empoli and then making the €18.5m transfer to Tottenham in 2023.

La Gazzetta dello Sport point out the fan club was set up at the Black Stuff Irish pub in Udine, by Giovanni and Cesare Pigani, with the help of Alessandro Bais and Vicario’s uncle Francesco Persolja.
