The Hull City Supporters’ Trust (HCST) is delighted to announce Leonardo (Leo), a lifelong Tigers fan from Bari, Italy, as our new International Director.
Leonardo’s passion for Hull City began at the age of 10, a connection that has only deepened over the years. Remarkably, he doesn’t support any Italian team—his dedication to Hull City leaves no room for divided loyalties. In 2013, Leonardo established Hull City Italia, uniting Italian fans under a shared love for the Tigers. Twitter / X users will know Leo under the handle of @HullCityItalian.
In 2019, Leonardo fulfilled a lifelong dream by attending his first match at the MKM Stadium, witnessing Hull City take on Blackburn. His first live victory, however, came four years later against Huddersfield at home—a moment he will cherish forever.
Beyond his love for football, Leonardo holds a degree in Italian Literature, bringing both creativity and dedication to his role as International Director. His unique perspective and unwavering commitment will help expand HCST’s global reach, strengthening the connection between Hull City fans worldwide.
Leonardo shared his excitement for the new role:
“Hull City has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. It’s an honor to serve as International Director for the Supporters’ Trust, and I can’t wait to work with fans around the world to support the Tigers.”
We warmly welcome Leonardo to the HCST team and look forward to the energy and vision he will bring to this role.
