The Italian Embassy in Prague is organising today in its premises the presentation ceremony for the Czech Republic of the 'Day of Italian Sport in the World', the initiative of the foreign network promoted by the Farnesina in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and CONI, with the 'aim of valorising through sport and its protagonists the Italian excellences, districts and industries, also in terms of promotion of the great events that will take place in Italy, starting from the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games of Milan-Cortina 2026'.

The celebrations," the embassy explained, "will be opened by the Italian ambassador Mauro Marsili, followed by speeches by tennis champion Andrea Sestini Hlaváčková, winner and finalist in several Grand Slam doubles tournaments, her husband Fabrizio Sestini, a successful tennis player and director of WTA Finals Operations, the famous footballer Tomas Skuhravy, and the leader of the sports platform RunCzech, Carlo Capalbo.

Representing the government, the embassy added, will be the Secretary of State for Education and Sport Ondrej Andrys. "The 'Italian Sport Day' - said Marsili - represents a unique opportunity to highlight, through sport and its protagonists, the Italian excellences and industrial districts that make our country a global reference point. Sports diplomacy is indeed important for promoting Italian excellence and supporting the internationalisation of enterprises and sports supply chains. During the evening, prizes will be awarded to the Czech winners of the Birell 10K Race, the running competition held in Prague last 7 September under the auspices of the Embassy and in the framework of the 'Italian Sport Day'. Also as part of the initiative, until the end of September it will be possible to visit the photographic exhibition 'Beyond Limits. A choral portrait of a changing country', organised by the Ministry's General Directorate for the Promotion of the Country System, with M9 Museo del 900 - Fondazione Venezia.
    The exhibition - it was said - consists of an anthological selection of shots that through seven thematic sections gives a multifaceted image of sport as an ambassador of universal values such as friendship between peoples and inclusiveness.
    The celebrations will continue on 21 and 22 September in Brno, Moravia, with the coach of the Czech national beach volleyball team, current world champion, the Italian Andrea Tomatis, who will hold a training camp with final competition reserved for promising young volleyball players. On 28 September Tomatis will travel to Prague, where he will coordinate a series of training sessions with volleyball and padel exhibitions at the Pisecna sports centre. On Sunday, 22 September, on the initiative of the COMITES of the Czech Republic, a football match between Czech and Italian fans will take place on a Prague pitch. All the initiatives for the Day of Sport are organised by the Embassy with the contribution of the Prague IIC, the Italian-Czech Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Comites.
