Italian regional sports promotion and social inclusion

Overview

Italian regions continue to expand initiatives using sport as a tool for social inclusion and ethical education. In Lombardy, the regional government introduced the ‘Premio Ideale Sportivo’ to recognize 21 amateur clubs and 21 volunteers for promoting well-being and accessibility for the elderly, youth, and people with disabilities. Concurrently, the municipality of Ancona in the Marche region presented a Fair Play award to 12-year-old footballer Cristhian Ursachi, emphasizing respect and loyalty.

Educational integration remains a priority, with Friuli Venezia Giulia launching the ‘La Regione per lo Sport nella Scuola’ pilot project. This initiative aims to embed sports technicians and federations into school curricula to prevent participation drop-off after age 13 and address gender and migrant gaps. Similarly, the Canottieri Lecco rowing club unveiled the BRAVI platform, which integrates multi-sport events with environmental sustainability and community engagement.

Furthering financial support, the Emilia-Romagna region introduced a 2026 sports bonus, providing vouchers of up to 250 euros to families with children aged 6 to 17 to cover physical activity costs, specifically targeting those with health or social inclusion needs. On a national level, the Uisp (Unione Italiana Sport per tutti) released its 2026 ‘Salto Triplo’ agenda, focusing on bridging the gap between sports and the third sector to foster community regeneration.
