An Italian football club once on the brink of extinction is now in the global spotlight thanks to an unlikely partnership between a lumber executive from Pennsylvania and a pair of American television personalities. Campobasso Football Club, a Serie C side based in southern Italy, is the subject of a new ESPN documentary series titled 'Running with the Wolves'. This series chronicles the club's struggle for survival and the passionate efforts to restore its legacy.
The series, which began airing on Tuesday, 29 July, presents the behind-the-scenes reality of a football revival with American roots, notably in Hermitage, Pennsylvania. It showcases how celebrity ownership meets small-town identity on both sides of the Atlantic.
