With Zanetti leading the drive, Inter Milan funded sports, water and health projects in the Chiapas region of Mexico, where the Zapatistas operate.

The Zapatistas also challenged Inter Milan to a football match which Zanetti expressed his willingness to take part in. He also wrote a letter to the Zapatistas declaring his support for the "struggle to maintain your roots and fight for your ideals".
