In July 2026, the President of the Italian Paralympic Committee, Marco Giunio De Sanctis, met with Abruzzo Region President Marco Marsilio in L’Aquila to discuss strengthening regional para-sport policies. The meeting focused on supporting local clubs, expanding grassroots activity, improving facilities, and promoting athlete recruitment. De Sanctis noted that “if we do not support base activity, we cannot grow nor bring more people with disabilities into sport,” while Marsilio highlighted the social value of para-sport for inclusion.
