The Italian walking football contingent is preparing for the Euro Nations Cup, which will take place in Torrevieja, Spain, from November 2 to 6. Representing Italy at the event—as part of a delegation organized by the National Union of Sports Veterans (an association recognized by CONI) and the National Walking Football League (LNWF), with support from CSAIN and the Italian Football Confederation—will be three men’s teams and two women’s teams.

The squads were introduced at an event in Rome, moderated by sports journalist Sofia Oranges. Maria Spena, a board member of *Sport e Salute*, noted that she has supported walking football “from the very beginning, because it embodies values such as inclusion, sharing, and respect.”
