Alessandro Del Piero coming to Windsor sports awards

Italian soccer player, Alessandro Del Piero, is coming to Windsor in April.

Italian soccer great, Alessandro Del Piero, is coming to Windsor for the Windsor-Essex County Sports Persons of the Year (WESPY) awards on April 21.

Del Piero will be the speaker at the local sports awards, following in the steps of many greats, like Jack Morris and Julius Irvin.

This is the first time in its history that soccer has been featured.

“What Dom (Papa, host of WESPY Awards) has accomplished with every speaker, there’s no words to explain it. And then, being a soccer guy, Dom’s telling me he’s bringing in Del Piero in, it’s really big,” said Steve Vagnini, St. Clair women’s soccer coach.”
