ROMA (ITALPRESS) – The Italian Federation of Paralympic and Experimental Sport (Fispes) and UniCredit strengthen a consolidated collaboration over time, announcing the renewal of the partnership for the entire 2026-2027 period, with the aim of supporting and enhancing the federal activity and the protagonists of the Italian paralympic athletics. “A synergy – emphasizes a note – which stems from a deep sharing of values such as inclusion, resilience, respect and growth that over the years has seen Fispes and UniCredit together in the promotion of paralympic sport as a tool for human, social and sports development. As part of the agreement, UniCredit assumes the qualification of Official Sponsor Federale Fispes and Sponsor of Jersey of the Italian National Team of Paralympic Athletics, accompanying blue athletes in all major national and international competitions. A concrete commitment to support the Fispes champions in achieving maximum agonistic results, encouraging the growth of already established excellences and the new promises of the Italian Paralympic panorama. The partnership aims to support the entire federal ecosystem as events, projects and sports activities, confirming a shared vision that recognizes in sport a powerful vehicle of inclusion and equal opportunities. A path started in 2021 and today relaunched with renewed conviction”.
The official debut of this new phase of collaboration will take place on the occasion of one of the most important events of the Fispes calendar: the Italian Indoor and Winter Championships of Lanci, scheduled in Ancona on 20 and 21 February 2026. “As Fispes we welcome with great satisfaction the renewal of the agreement with UniCredit. For us it is not simply a question of continuing a collaboration, but of giving continuity to a path built over time, made of mutual trust, shared goals and concrete attention to the paralympical world. He worked side by side, joining energies and skills, with the awareness that sport is much more than a competition: it is personal growth, inclusion and opportunity. UniCredit has proven to really believe in sports, at all levels, supporting both agonism and basic activity. This means being able to program with stability, valorize our champions and, at the same time, accompany the new generations in their sports and human path. It also means supporting the entire movement, i.e. events, projects, activities on the territory and everything that contributes to creating value for people and for society.” The comment of President Fispes Mariano Salvatore.
“I wish to address – he added – a heartfelt thanks to UniCredit for the trust and sensitivity that continues to demonstrate towards our Federation. Together we want to continue to grow the Italian athletics and paralympic rugby. Our athletes, with their determination and their daily commitment, are an authentic example of strength and dedication. Being at their side, supporting them and accompanying them in achieving their goals is an important responsibility for us, but also a reason for great pride.” “We are proud to renew our partnership with Fispes, a collaboration that authentically expresses the values in which we believe: inclusion, resilience and enhancement of talent. Support for the Italian Paralympic Athletics is a concrete commitment to a fairer society, where sport becomes a vehicle for growth and opportunities for all. We will accompany the blue athletes in this new two years with enthusiasm and responsibility, certain that their stories will continue to illuminate the country” said Remo Taricani, Deputy Head of Italy of UniCredit.
