Gatti Randagi win championship for the 4th time
The celebrations had already started a few days ago outside Paolo Gas bar in Barga Vecchia as the Gatti Randagi football team won the Campioni Coppa di Lega AICS 2022 for the fourth time – (article here)
All eyes were then on the major celebrations which would take place this Saturday, which members of the victorious team promised would be all encompassing and loud and would involve most of the bars in the area.

Gatti Randagi
The year 1991 will certainly have been a year where many things have happened, but for us it was the year in which the legendary “Gatti Randagi” were born. A little boredom to play in the various minor categories (few), but above all the desire and passion of others, pushed a group of friends from Barga to found this football team.
Legend has it that the name was chosen at the last moment during the journey to register for the UISP championship in Pieve Fosciana, many try to grab the merit or the misfortune of this choice, but among the various ones, the most accredited is the one that attributes this initiative to two historical founders … friends Roberto Conti and Maurizio Poli.

The choice of the white and green social colors with horizontal bands is instead sought in the sympathy that most of the founders, as well as the current players, have towards the CELTIC GLASGOW team, so the suit is and will remain green and white as long as the Gatti Randagi exist.
This sympathy for a Scottish team is perhaps to be sought in the history of Barga, that is, in the close link between our city and Scotland, a nation that has welcomed many of our emigrants in difficult years for us.
