Wikipedia: Who Is Ivan Vavassori?
Ivan Vavassori is the former goalkeeper of Pro Patria, Legnano, and Bra. The 29-year-old footballer from Italy went to Ukraine to volunteer and fight the demons some time ago. However, it has now been reported that there is no information on him whatsoever.
He was adopted by Pietro Vavassori who is the former Patron of Pro Patria and Alessandra Sgarella. His mother was kidnapped by Ndragheta and was released on 4th September 1998, then she’d become a household name. She died in 2011 at the age of 52.
Ivan was raised well by his parents and even though he was their adoptive son, they treated him no less than their own. The man was called a ‘fighting footballer’ by his people and has saved several accolades to his name.

What Happened To Ivan Vavassori In Ukraine?
The former Pro Patria e Legnano member, 29, had volunteered to confront the invaders. A Facebook post raises the alarm saying two convoys were blown up and they believe that Ivan was one of them.
Leaving for Ukraine, Vavassori had recalled the extreme difficulty in which he would have found himself operating. He wrote that it would be a suicide mission because they had very few units against an entire army, but still, he preferred to prefer to try. He stated that what mattered was to die well, only then life would begin.
After the approval of the Kyiv embassy in Italy, the former footballer joined the “Legion of international defense of Ukraine”.
