Giornata Nazionale dello Sport

"Those who work for sport and spread it help the country" (Sergio Mattarella, at the Stadio dei Marmi during his visit to the CONI headquarters on 12/6/2017) The National Sports Day (Giornata Nazionale dello Sport), established by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers with the directive of 27 November 2003, takes place simultaneously across the whole of Italy, as well as abroad where a CONI delegation is present (Switzerland, Brazil, Argentina, USA, Venezuela and Canada), on the first Sunday of June. A great celebration for all those who love and play sport and for the promotion of all the sports disciplines involved, with events across many Italian municipalities. Everything takes place under the direction of CONI which, in coordination with the sports associations and bodies operating in the territory and together with local authorities, takes initiatives, within its competences, to promote and enhance the educational and social function of sport as a fundamental factor for the growth and enrichment of the individual, the preservation of health, the improvement of quality of life and the empowerment and strengthening of civil society.
