The Heart Behind Real Rosso
A.C. Real Rosso is more than a soccer team — it’s a symbol of passion, sacrifice, and unity. The club was founded by Gallup Galipolli, a young dreamer with a deep love for the game and an unshakable commitment to building something real from the ground up. What began as a small idea turned into a competitive force thanks to the dedication of his closest friends — especially Sebastián Estrada, who played a key role in laying the foundation of the project. Together, they created a team not built on money or fame, but on friendship, heart, and the belief that greatness can come from anywhere.

The name “Rosso,” meaning Vinotinto in Italian, reflects the soul of the team — bold, passionate, and proud. The team’s signature burgundy color pays tribute to Gallup’s grandmother, whose favorite color and presence left a lasting mark on his life. It also nods to the Venezuelan national team jersey, connecting the club to its roots and cultural pride.

Real Rosso has already made its mark on the field, reaching the semifinals in both tournaments it has competed in — proving that hard work and heart can rival any big-name academy. Gallup has sacrificed deeply to keep the team alive, serving not only as founder and player, but also as editor, designer, communicator, and even coach when needed. Every post, every jersey, every training session carries his dedication.

This is Real Rosso — a team built by friends, powered by dreams, and driven by something bigger than the game itself.
