CATANZARO – There are 1,613 Calabrian kids aged 14 to 24 who will receive the voucher (here is the list of those admitted) of 500 euros for sports, provided for by the initiative “Calabria for Youth” promoted by the Calabria Region and created in collaboration with Sport e Salute. The list of beneficiaries of the voucher has been published on the website www.sportesalute.eu, which will now allow people to practice sports and physical activity at the 676 associations and amateur sports clubs in Calabria that have joined the project. The numbers attest to the great involvement and effervescence of the Calabrian sports movement. On the one hand, in fact, there was a large participation of sports associations and clubs that made available a total of 1,434 courses of various activities and disciplines: from climbing to athletics, from cycling to sports dance, from baseball to martial arts, passing through aquatic and underwater sports.
On the other hand, the numbers of beneficiaries have demonstrated the desire for sport of the Calabrian kids, with 9,818 total requests, from which the list of 4,096 eligible applications was generated, with priority for young people belonging to families in precarious economic and social conditions.

“The great participation – Princi highlights – testifies to the goodness of the choice of the Calabria Region to focus on sport. We wanted to promote this initiative precisely to satisfy the great desire for sport and to allow everyone to do physical and sporting activity, overcoming any access barriers. With the President of the Region Roberto Occhiuto we are grateful to the many Calabrian associations and sports clubs that have joined, opening the doors to the many kids who will have the opportunity to choose the discipline and activity that most attracts and involves them. I would like to thank the general manager, Maria Francesca Gatto, the manager of the Sports sector, Anna Perani, and the staff involved in the regional Education department for the work they have done. A more sporty and, therefore, healthier Calabria – finally states Vice President Princi – is the goal we are moving towards and we are happy to be able to count, in this journey, on Sport e Salute that works to develop sport throughout our country”.
