25 September 2025 – An evening full of meaning and strong emotions accompanied the convivial meeting of the Panathlon Club of Venice, during which the Panathlon Club Venice Jr. was officially presented, whose constitution was officially approved by Panathlon International on 4 September.

A particularly touching moment was dedicated to the young members of the new Junior Club, led with enthusiasm, passion and competence by President Veronica Berti. They received congratulations and encouragement from the DI Junior Club Delegate, Rita Custodi, who emphasised the educational, inclusive and innovative value of the project.

Alongside Veronica Berti were Caterina Almansi, Marta Bertoldini, Filippo Carraro, Fabio Cerchiai, Nicolò Darai, Jacopo Pajer, Lorenza Perini and Diego Secchieri. Dario Manente and Angelica Marengo were absent with justification.

The International President, Giorgio Chinellato, was absent due to institutional commitments in Brussels, but was ideally close to the initiative.

Webinar invitation: Referees, guardians of values in sport

Too often, the role of referees is reduced to simply managing a match. Yet ensuring that the rules are followed is an essential part of the success of any sporting event.

Today, the growing pressure on referees threatens not only their safety, but also the very future of sport. Despite their indispensable role, referees are absent from the decision-making bodies and sports policies that regulate competitions.

This webinar will be an opportunity to reflect on:

The growing pressure on referees and the associated risks

The need for direct involvement of referees in decision-making processes

The importance of an educational perspective for new generations of athletes

The CREC (Culture, Research and Education Commission) of Panathlon International has organised its 3rd webinar on this topic.

The President of the CREC (Culture, Research and Education Commission), Antonio Bramante, will welcome the speakers:

Gwenda Stevens, President of the International Federation of Referees in Sport

Paul Wylleman, Professor of Sports Psychology at the VUB (Vrije Universiteit Brussel)

At the end of the debate, Paul Standaert, President of the District Belgium of Panathlon International, will offer further reflections on the importance of promoting respect for referees as part of PI's ethical vision.

Date: 9 October 2025

Time: 17:00 CET

Platform: Zoom

A crucial issue, which affects the credibility and sustainability of sport, will be at the centre of our discussion.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Paris, 22 September – The President of the District France of Panathlon International, Marc Rozenblat, accompanied by International Past President Pierre Zappelli, met with the Secretary General of the French National Olympic Committee (CNOSF), Cédric Gosse, in Paris.

This was the first official meeting between PI and CNOSF, a significant moment of dialogue and rapprochement. Although CNOSF President Amélie Oudea Castera was unable to attend due to urgent commitments, Evelyne Ciriegi, President of the CNOSF Regional Committee and the Club Paris, was present at the meeting.

During the working lunch, Gosse, who also holds the position of President of the French Triathlon Federation, expressed keen interest in the Panathletic movement. The conversation focused in particular on the relationship between Panathlon International and the French Fair Play Committee, highlighting how the two organisations pursue different but complementary objectives, paving the way for possible synergies.

A key element that emerged from the meeting was the prospect of future collaboration on common issues, with the aim of promoting the ethical and cultural principles of sport.

The mission concluded with an official presentation at the CROSIF (Ile de France Regional Olympic Committee), where Panathlon's activities and values were illustrated through a series of slides that aroused great interest and numerous requests for further information.

With this meeting, the District France of Panathlon International laid the foundations for structured collaboration with the French Olympic movement, strengthening its presence and role as a promoter of the universal values of sport.

From 1 October to 31 December 2025, Panathlon International will host Alexandros Brousiakis, a student at the Hellenic Open University in Greece, at its International Headquarters as part of the Erasmus+ programme.

Alexandros, who has a degree in Economics and is currently enrolled in a Master's programme in Sports Management, brings with him enthusiasm, team spirit and problem-solving skills.

Passionate about the world of sport, he is eager to put his skills into practice and contribute to new projects.

We welcome Alexandros and wish him a fruitful and stimulating experience!

Estuvimos presentes en la apertura de los Torneos Masivos Intercolegiales de las regiones 7 y 8 con las profesoras Viviana Notaro y María Jose Castagna, con nuestra bandera del Juego Limpio y la Carta del Fair Play que se leyó para los jovenes deportistas participantes. Comenzaron con basquet, luego atletismo, handbal y voley.

Exitos y mucho juego limpio

On 25 September, Giorgio Chinellato President of Panathlon International and Prof. Silvia Camporesi of MAiSI signed an important collaboration to promote the implementation of academic studies into sport at grassroot level. More on this later in next edition of the Panathlon magazine.

On the afternoon of 24 September 2025, MEP Lara Magoni met with Panathlon International President Giorgio Chinellato and International Board member Fabiano Gerevini in Brussels. The meeting took place at the European Parliament, where Magoni is currently engaged in institutional activities.

During the meeting, crucial issues were discussed, such as the role of sport in promoting ethical and social values at a global level, with particular attention to the phenomenon of hikikomori. This is a profound, often invisible, disorder that affects adolescents and young adults, leading to social and educational isolation.

Panathlon International stressed the importance of addressing this issue with concrete and coordinated responses at international level. Lara Magoni confirmed her commitment to bringing the issue of hikikomori to the attention of the European Parliament's Committee on Culture, Education, Youth and Sport, so that it can be addressed with appropriate tools in youth policies.

The meeting represents a significant step in the collaboration between Panathlon International and the European institutions, with the aim of promoting the positive values of sport as a tool for prevention, inclusion and rebirth for those experiencing isolation and fragility.

Aportes de las autoridades nacionales, deartamentales, de los docentes, de familiares con personas con discapacidad y testimonios de atletas especiales, resulto muy enriquecedor para todos los presentes.

Se comentaron las políticas desarrolladas antes y los logros alcanzados y se conocieron los proyectos que anuncian las nuevas autoridades departamentales.

Muy destacado fueron los testimonios de dos docentes que viajaron desde Tacuarembó, expresando el interés por conocer la realidad de nuestro departamento y el comentario de que advertían que en Lavalleja estarían más desarrolladas las politícas de inclusión deportiva que en su territorio.

Más de dos horas de intercambio de información y testimonios sumamente estimulantes y valiosos.

Para el Panathlon también resultó una oportunidad de trabajo en equipo porque participamos panathletas de Club Minas y Maldonado Punta del Este, caso del Prof Yamandú Acosta.
