De Sanctis: “I have faith in Vezzali, now the sport reform”

by admin

An important curriculum behind him, first athlete then manager: Marco Giunio De Sanctis is in his second term at the helm of Federbocce (FIB). Not only did he never stop, not even during the pandemic, but he is certainly among the most active presidents on the sports policy front. This is also demonstrated by his interventions in the National Council of Coni.

De Sanctis recently met with the Undersecretary of State, with responsibility for sport, Valentina Vezzali: a 360-degree interview, starting from the sport of bowls up to the difficulties encountered in this period by the presidents of the National Sports Federations.

“I trust Vezzali, who knows sport well and, in particular, the sport of bowls, aware of the social, promotional and, above all, competitive value of our discipline – explains De Sanctis – We also talked about the Alassio World Championships, which will be held from 12 to 16 October 2021. I hope Vezzali can take part in the world championship competition in Liguria, where Prince Albert of Monaco has already confirmed his presence. The Alassio World Championship, from which the international soccer activity will restart, will be a great event not only sporting “.

During the meeting, President De Sanctis explained to the Undersecretary that “a reform of sport, which is currently incomplete, is necessary”.

“It is necessary to put hand to the Melandri Law – the words of De Sanctis – The most effective model is that the high level and the Olympic sport must receive contributions and be supervised by the Coni, while Sport and Health must deal with disbursing the funds, supervising the their use, for grassroots, social, promotional and school sports. On the subject of supervision, Vezzali gave me satisfaction during the National Council of the CIP, agreeing on the hypothesis of a necessary review of the current legislation “.

“We need to clarify, because at the moment there is only confusion and it is essential to get out of this situation of impasse – continues De Sanctis – I explained to Vezzali how today there are too many interlocutors: the Department for Sport, the Undersecretary with responsibility for Sport, the Coni, Sport and Health and the Cip. A decree law would be needed that would better define roles and responsibilities. Among other things, nowadays, there is an evident conflict between the Coni, its territorial bodies and human resources, which depend instead on Sport and Health. The confusion of roles and functions is undeniable when, for example, the ownership of the premises of the Institute of Medicine is assigned to Coni, while the employees and related activities fall within the competence of Sport and Health “.

President, in addition to the Alassio World Championships, does the FIB also have other international events in the pipeline?

“Next year we will organize, between the end of May and the beginning of June, at the Federal Technical Center of Rome, the World Youth Championship of Raffa, which should have taken place in October 2021. Also in 2022, moreover, presumably in Sardinia, the Paralympic Boccia World Cup, preparatory for qualification for the Paralympic Games in Paris 2024. For 2023, finally, we are candidates for the Youth World Cup Paralympic Boccia and, most likely in Abruzzo, for the Raffa Senior World Cup ”.
