ROMA (ITALPRESS) – From 23rd to 30th September, Italy is turning on with the European Week of Sport (European Week of Sport), the initiative promoted by the Minister for Sport and Youth, Andrea Abodi, coordinated by the Department for Sport, with Sport and Health, which takes care of its operational implementation throughout the national territory, and which since 2015 is annually realized throughout the European Union to spread the culture of sport, psychofi and active life.
The 2026 edition has a claim that is already a program: “BeActive Your Way: No pressure, no judgement.” A campaign that invites everyone to move according to their own step, without age distinctions, physical condition, skill or level of training, to return to the movement its most authentic meaning: a free, spontaneous gesture, to the reach of all. It will be a moving Italy to tell: thousands of sports events scattered throughout the national territory, constantly updating on www.sportesalute.eu.
The numbers tell a constant growth: over the years the European Sport Week has become a collective movement of continental scale, able to involve more than 118 million participants in more than 433 thousand activities realized in the acceding European countries. The countdown starts on Saturday, September 12th, when at the Valentino park in Turin, as part of Tennis & Friends, the European Sport Week will have its official baptism, in the presence of the Ambassadors of BeActive 2026: two Olympic champions who made the history of Italian sport, the judoka Pino Maddaloni and the ice speed skater Francesca Lollobrigida. Then Naples. On Friday 25th, Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th September, from 9th to 18th, the Villa Comunale is transformed into the heart of the event with the BeActive MultiSportVillage, free entrance: more than 30 areas equipped thanks to the commitment of the National Sports Federations and of all sports organisms where to experiment free dozens of disciplines, side by side with federal instructors and technicians.
An appointment, that of Naples, that finds in the frame of the preliminary races of the America’s Cup its natural resonance case. The program is enriched by an area of excellence dedicated to the literacy of the sea, realized with the Italian Sailing Federation within the Race Village of America’s Cup, and a series of talk dedicated to wellness, animated by the sports ambassadors and the champions of the Illumina Team of Sport and Health, ready to convey to the youngest the enthusiasm for sport. The highlight of the Neapolitan kermesse is the BeActive Night, scheduled on Saturday evening 26 September: an event open to all citizens for a festival of sport, values, well-being and life.
