FAIR PLAY MENARINI INTERNATIONAL AWARD, A WAVE OF EMOTIONS MARKS THE 29TH EDITION
FIESOLE, Italy, July 4, 2025 /CNW/ -- A night suspended between history and legend, dedicated to the most authentic values of ethics and fair play. In the timeless setting of the Roman Theatre of Fiesole, where culture met sport, the final ceremony of the 29th edition of the Fair Play Menarini International Award took place, bringing together some of the greatest sportsmen and women in world, in acknowledgment of their examples of loyalty, respect, and integrity, both on and off the field. Among this year's awardees was the icon of football, Luis Figo, Ballon d'Or winner with Real Madrid and winner of 4 consecutive italian championships with Inter, a winger who has redefined the role with his charisma and unparalleled ability. The Award also paid tribute to Demetrio Albertini, midfield player and reference for generations of fans, and "Billy" Costacurta, renowned defender of the AC Milan and national teams, representing an era of football that made history. Among those honoured this year were also Gianmarco Tamberi, Olympic and world high jump champion and flagbearer for Italy at the Paris 2024 Games, a charismatic and inspiring athlete, capable of turning each competition into a moment of both entertainment and a celebration of values. Also awarded was fellow flagbearer Arianna Errigo, fencing legend and symbol of determination and lifelong dedication to a sporting discipline that she has helped to gain greater appreciation. Recognition also went to Sasha Vujacic, two-time NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakers, who earned admiration for his competitive spirit and a career built on commitment and respect. Joining them were Blanka Vlasic, high jump icon and two-time world champion; Alice Bellandi, Olympic gold medallist and newly crowned judo world champion, and Nadia Battocletti, a rising star in middle-distance running who claimed Olympic silver in the 10,000 metres through strength, strategy, and dedication. Andy Díaz, dominant triple jumper with an Olympic bronze and indoor world title, was also present together with Rigivan Ganeshamoorthy, Paralympic gold medallist in the discus throw, a true example of strength and inspiration. Completing the line up was Guido Meda, the legendary voice of MotoGP, acknowledged for the passion with which he has so enthusiastically commented on races over the years. Making the evening even more special was the presence of three Fair Play Menarini Ambassadors, who themselves have received the award in past editions: Ian Thorpe, five-time Olympic champion and swimming legend, Giancarlo Antognoni, 1982 World Cup winner, recognised for loyalty and a sense of belonging towards the city of Florence, and Fabrizio Donato, winner of the triple jump bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympic Games. The ceremony was broadcast live on Sky TG24, and hosted by Rachele Sangiuliano, Federica Lodi, Michele Cagiano, and Omar Schillaci, and a special commentary was given by Federico Buffa, whose words enhanced the more profound meaning of each of the stories told throughout the evening. In addition to these remarkable champions, the winners of the Fair Play Menarini "Young Athletes" Award - Nicola Nardo, Michele Vivalda, and Alessandro Bugli - were also celebrated, together with the awardee of the Special Fiamme Gialle "Study and Sport" Award, Margherita Voliani. These two special awards, which aim to put the spotlight on particular positive acts of fair play by the younger generations, were conferred last June during the press conferences held at the Italian Olympic Committee and Tuscany Region headquarters. "The Fair Play Menarini Award is a mosaic of stories which both inspire and convey a meaningful message, and each edition reminds us of the strength of those who choose to live sport with integrity and respect - said Valeria Speroni Cardi and Filippo Paganelli, Members of the Board of the Fair Play Menarini Foundation - With that same energy, we are already looking ahead to the 30th edition, and we look forward to seeing you in 2026 for yet another magnificent adventure together." The 29th edition of the Fair Play Menarini International Award is supported by the Istituto per il Credito Sportivo e Culturale as Institutional Partner, and by Sustenium, Frecciarossa, Estra, and Adiacent as initiative partners.

Spain coach Sergio Scariolo to take over Real Madrid's basketball team after EuroBasket
MADRID (AP) — Spain coach Sergio Scariolo will take over Real Madrid's basketball team after EuroBasket, the club said Thursday. Scariolo had announcement Wednesday that he would not continue with the national team after the 24-team tournament — Europe's continental championship — ends in September. Madrid parted ways with coach Chus Mateo and said that Scariolo will arrive on a three-year contract until June 2028. 'Scariolo, one of the most prestigious coaches in world basketball, arrives at Real Madrid after a brilliant career at the helm of the Spanish national team, where he has become the most successful coach in its history,' the club said in its announcement. Scariolo helped lead Spain to eight medals: five gold (2019 World Cup, 2009 EuroBasket, 2011 EuroBasket, 2015 EuroBasket and 2022 EuroBasket), one silver (2012 London Olympics) and two bronze (2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics and 2017 EuroBasket). The Italian was an assistant coach with the Toronto Raptors when it won the NBA title in the 2018-19 season. The 64-year-old Scariolo was in his second stint with Spain. He had previously coached Madrid from 1999-2002. Spain is the defending EuroBasket champion. This year, it is in Group C along with Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Georgia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. ___ AP sports:

Some fans question US readiness for 2026 World Cup after Club World Cup experience
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Lifelong soccer fan Victor Dumois expressed concern about the United States co-hosting the 2026 World Cup after attending a recent Club World Cup match in Miami. 'I think after the Copa America, a weird phenomenon has occurred here,' said Dumois, who is from Spain. 'There's people that don't like the World Cup being in the United States.' The Copa America championship game last year in Miami was a security nightmare, with overheated and ticketless fans breaking down the barriers at Hard Rock Stadium to get inside. Eventually the game was played, although some paying customers never were able to get to their seats because they were occupied. Some cited the debacle as one example of how unprepared the United States is to host soccer's biggest tournament. Fast-forward to this summer and the 32-team Club World Cup hosted solely in the United States. Dumois said security was tight this time around — almost to a fault. 'In Spain, it is different, you can just have an Uber or taxi take you right up to the stadium,' Dumois said, sharing his thoughts on the Round 16 match between Real Madrid and Juventus. 'Here in Miami, they have to leave you outside and far away. There's so many layers of security, it's too much.' The Club World Cup, which is entering the quarterfinals this weekend, has served as a tune-up for the United States which, along with Canada and Mexico, will host the 2026 World Cup in cities like Miami, Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Seattle. So far, the club tournament has not been well-attended, except for a handful of matches. A Round of 16 knockout match at Charlotte's 75,000-seat Bank of America Stadium between Fluminense and Inter Milan drew just 20,030 fans. Stadium officials allowed fans who'd purchased upper deck tickets to move down to the lower bowl. Even then, lower bowl looked half full. Empty seats have been a common sight across the country. There are variety of reasons why. First, the club tournament simply isn't as popular as the World Cup, where players are competing for their countries rather than a club team. The costs — both for games and travel — have also kept some away. And, for some, there have been lingering concerns of potential U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids at matches amid President Donald Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration. The weather hasn't helped either. Benjamin Cabral lives in Boston, but his family is from Azoras, an autonomous region of Portugal. He said if FIFA hopes to grow the game in America, a scheduling change is necessary. Due to soccer's popularity in Europe, many club matches have been played in the middle of the day so fans overseas can watch games on television or livestream in real time at night. The downside is players have been forced to play with temperatures above 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 Celsius) while a major heat wave gripped the States. 'If they're trying to grow their game in the US, they need to make the games later,' Cabral said. 'It's too hot out here for the players.' It hasn't been easy on fans, either. 'There's no roof, no screens, not much,' said Carlos Olguin, who made the trek from Mexico to Charlotte to watch Pachuca play Real Madrid. Next year's World Cup will be played during a similar time frame, beginning in mid-June and concluding in mid-July. Excitement surrounding the current event also remains a concern. 'The other thing in the city is that it should be more prepared for the event, because there are people who don't even know there's an event and so you go to a restaurant with the idea that there are flags, fans, more football things and there's nothing,' Olguin added of the Club World Cup. 'The city should be more prepared for the event, because there are people who don't even know there's an event.' As for the venues, spectators attending Club World Cup matches offered differing reviews of American stadiums and host cities leading up to the country hosting the World Cup for the first since 1994. 'I'll be honest, the U.S. is not ready to host the World Cup,' said Jeremy Zuniga from South Carolina. 'There's too many people coming from South America, Europe, everybody.' Others, like Rogerio Bajos from Peru, feel differently. 'I think it's been good, we haven't had any problems,' said Bajos, who also attended a CWC game in Miami. 'The parking is no problem, the security has been good. Overall, a stupendous spectacle.' Humberto Contasta from Miami said the Club World Cup should help the American co-hosts iron out some issues before next summer. Daniel Marques, who made the trek from Portugal to Charlotte for the sole purpose of watching Benfica battle Chelsea in a group play match, said he was impressed overall with how the tournament was run. Guilherme Altoe agreed. Altoe, who grew up watching World Cup matches in Brazil before moving to the United States nearly a decade ago, said he thinks the United States will put on a good event next summer. Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. 'I think the United States has everything, all the infrastructure to host a World Cup,' he said. 'So we are excited to have them see all the fans from different places and have family come around and it will be a great time.' ___ Freelancers Andrew Jaime-Mendez and Max Feliu Merce contributed to this report. ___ AP soccer:
