Webuild supports “Calcio Italiano” in Perth: AC Milan, Inter, Juventus and Palermo take centre stage during a week of italian football in Australia
MILAN, August 12, 2026 – Following the Milano Derby between AC Milan and Inter, and the Derby d'Italia between Juventus and Inter, the latest match between Juventus and Palermo this week brings the curtain down on Calcio Italiano, the event that has brought four of Italy's most prestigious football clubs to Western Australia for the first time. Webuild is supporting the initiative as Major Event Partner, backing an event that has attracted football fans, Italian-Australian communities and visitors from across the country.
Held exclusively in Perth from August 5 to 11, Calcio Italiano featured three high-profile fixtures: AC Milan versus Inter, attended by 53,000 spectators; Juventus versus Inter, which drew 56,000 fans; and Juventus versus Palermo, giving Australian audiences the opportunity to witness some of the most iconic rivalries in Italian football while strengthening ties between Italy and one of the world's most vibrant Italian communities.
The initiative forms part of a broader programme of major international events promoted by Western Australia to attract visitors, investment and global attention, reinforcing Perth's position as a leading destination for world-class sporting and cultural events.
