You step off the tram and the shouts of past matches seem to hang in the air — not from the city center but from the training pitches that give Coverciano its pulse. Turf, flags and a faint tang of fresh-cut grass frame the FIGC’s federal technical center; inside, displays of worn jerseys and annotated tactics boards make the national team’s story tangible.
