In late July 2026, the municipality of Crosia was announced as the runner‑up in the provisional ranking of the Ministry of Sport’s “Sport e Periferia” competition, positioning it to receive national financing for a new municipal sports field.

A few weeks later, in early August, the Italian Department for Sport released the full provisional lists of municipalities eligible for the 2026 Sport and Peripheries funding programme. The lists identified which towns, including those highlighted in bold, were admitted to the evaluation stage and required to submit project documentation by the set deadline. The department explained that the commission would review these submissions to assign final scores and compile the definitive list of entities that will actually receive contributions.
