Torres issued a statement in response to the controversy sparked by Campobasso after Saturday's match, which ended 2-2 . The Molise club reported in a statement: "The club's vice president, Nicola Cirrincione, who was present in the stands, was subjected to inappropriate verbal abuse by some Torres supporters."
The Sassari-based club responded: "Torres intends to reaffirm and defend the values that have always distinguished the Club and its sporting community throughout Italy. Respect, education, sociability, and sportsmanship have always been fundamental elements of Torres' identity, recognized over time through numerous national awards and recognitions. These values belong not only to the Club, but to the entire community that experiences the stadium as a place of meeting, sharing, and participation."
He then clarified: "After the match, during the usual "third half" event offered by Torres, no tension was reported or perceived . On the contrary, there was a calm and relaxed atmosphere, typical of intensely contested matches on the field but played with respect and sportsmanship off it. For the Club, this moment of conviviality represents an authentic expression of the spirit of the area and the desire to build positive and sincere relationships between the sporting communities."
The statement concludes: "Torres will strive, at the first opportunity, to further strengthen this spirit of closeness and acceptance, in the belief that direct dialogue and human relationships are always the best way to preserve and convey the values of football. Where inappropriate individual behavior has occurred, the Club reiterates that it in no way represents the values of Torres, which will continue to promote healthy, respectful, and civilized sporting dialogue, both on and off the field. Torres looks forward, proud of its values and its fans, convinced that football must remain a place of fair competition, mutual respect, and a meeting place between diverse communities."
