Italian communities abroad

CONI’s Foreign Delegates in the countries with a strong Italian presence.

CONI appoints Foreign Delegates in the main countries of Italian emigration to promote sporting culture and practice among Italian communities abroad.

The Delegates organise initiatives and sports events — such as the National Sports Day and the Trofeo CONI, in its summer and winter editions — for young people of Italian descent, in connection with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the "Turismo delle Radici" project.

The mandates were renewed on 29 October 2025 for the 2025-2028 Olympic term.
