In the middle of summer, football in Trentino was shaken by tragic news. 18-year-old Sami Said died in a car accident in Morocco. Said was one of the promising young players at third-division club AC Trento, which mourned the young footballer in a statement on its website.

"Sami was part of the AC Trento family. Together with his teammates, coaches, and management, he embarked on a journey marked by both sporting and personal development. Those fortunate enough to have known him will never forget him. In moments like these, words fail us," the club wrote.

Said was active in the youth sector of AC Trento. Last season he played for the Primavera team of the third-division club. Now his life has ended far too soon.
