Winners and losers, those who are satisfied and those who protest: this is almost always the case when, at the end of the year, state contributions are assigned to sports federations. Yesterday, in the evening, Sports and Health has released the long-awaited table, 343 million in total for next year (see Spy Calcio of 20 December). “We’re not sure about the modalities,” he says Alberto Migliettapresident of Federpesi, an Olympic sport, and former CEO of Coni Servizi, later replaced by Sport and Health. The president Marco Mezzaroma and the CEO Diego Nepi they tried, with complex and painstaking work, to meet everyone’s needs, in full harmony with Minister Abodi. But it is not easy in such a varied world of sport, with completely different situations from Federation to Federation. Here’s what Miglietta underlines: “I’m surprised, to say the least, by the timing. On December 17th during the night we learned that from January 1st we have to pay the rents of the central and peripheral offices when some Federations, including mine, have already approved the budget for next year. Last night, January 20th, we learned how much the contributions recognized for 2025 amount to. Not much compared to the other Federations (4,935,971 euros, ed.)”. Then, the Milanese accountant goes into detail: “It is at least surprising that the extraordinary contributions (154 million, ed.), a consequence of federal activities, have been allocated, through two decrees, to other projects, for example Illumina and Caivano, which see then the need for the Federations to become operational. So planning federal management is really difficult.” Federpesi took 36,910 euros less than last year. “Now we will have to think calmly to understand which indices have been taken into consideration, considering that my Federation is one of those generally growing: it is not just a question of numbers but of method, which especially with these times creates further problems ”, concludes Miglietta. A larger cut instead for Fib, Federbocce: 62,766 euros less. President Marco Giunio De Sanctis was upset last night at the Bowls Gala as soon as he learned the amount of the contribution he is entitled to (3,584,528 euros). However, the presidents of Volleyball, Manfredi, and that of Fencing, Azzi, were satisfied. Luciano Buonfiglio, Federcanoa e kayak, and member of the Coni council, also thanks for the 12 percent increase: “Thanks to our good management”.
The bowls gala at Coni, praise from Malagò
The “MB FIB Award”, the Oscar of bowls, now in its 43rd edition, took place. The gala evening took place in Rome, thanks to the support and contribution of the Lazio Region and the patronage of the Minister of Sport and the Municipality of Rome, in the Coni Hall of Honour, enjoying notable success as always. The award was given to champions, clubs, managers, technicians, referees and sponsors, protagonists of the last sporting season. For the second time an international figure was also awarded, a true career recognition for a manager who has dedicated his life to our sporting world. The president of the Fib, Marco Giunio De Sanctis, assured that the world of bowls in Italy is constantly growing: “It was an exciting season. For several years we have been organizing major events in Italy: two World Championships in 2022, a European Championship in 2023, a Paralympic Boccia World Challenger in Sardinia and a Raffa senior European Championship in Terni in 2024 and, the icing on the cake, the Petanque World Championship which will take place will take place in September 2025 at the Circus Maximus in Rome. We have a great future but we must be even more united and believe in the enormous potential of the federation, definitively eradicating the antiquated clichés about bowls as a sport for the elderly.”
“I am honored to participate in this traditional, increasingly important event which celebrates the great bowling movement. This is a very widespread discipline and I am sure that it will earn the international recognition it deserves. The contents of this evening’s event allow me to express sincere gratitude to the Federation, to the president De Sanctis, to his passion and skills highlighted through the fantastic results achieved. I think of the National Petanque team, world champion in terna after 45 years, the most recent and emblematic result, but in addition to the competitive successes there is a special path. You must be proud of what you have created”.
Fijlkam, Morsiani the new president (Gamba beaten)
Giovanni Morsiani is the new president of the Italian Judo Wrestling Karate and Martial Arts Federation (Fijlkam). The manager from Faenza, already deputy vice president in the last legislature, that of Domenico Falcone, obtained 54.84% of the votes on the occasion of the 43rd national assembly held at the PalaPellicone on the Lido di Ostia. Defeated was Ezio Gamba, Olympic gold and silver medalist in Moscow ’80 and Los Angeles ’84 respectively, as well as Putin’s instructor in Russia, remaining at 44.61%. Blank ballots were 0.55%.
