Inter Clubs in Riyadh: meeting with Marco Materazzi

Inter vs. Lazio has arrived. At 22:00 local time (20:00 CET), Simone Inzaghi's side will head out for the Supercoppa Italiana semi-final. Who wins will go on to the final on Monday night, against Napoli.

The anticipation is growing about the city where Interismo is omnipresent. It has been another emotional day for the Inter Clubs who spent Wednesday morning with Asllani, Klaassen and Frattesi.

They have come from all over the Middle East to support Inzaghi's side. Inter Club KSA (270 members in Saudi Arabia) has welcomed people from all over the country to help out with the match: some came from Jeddah, for example, with the desire to share their passion. This Interisti sentiment arrives from every corner of the Middle East.

To welcome Marco Materazzi to Riyadh, with chants and damp cheeks, were the members of Inter Club KSA who have been joined by Inter Club Bahrain, Inter Club Iraq, and Inter Club Qatar. Many miles travelled for Inter, as always.

The emotions of the meeting with Marco Materazzi can be felt through the photos, hugs, handshakes, and autographs. These are the moments where a universal love of Inter finds a conduit: today it's Riyadh, and whilst we sing "Tutti pazzi per Materazzi", the stories of those who have travelled to the Saudi capital mix with the worries about the match this evening.
