FINP's participation at the 60th Settecolli

The connection between FIN and FINP is renewed for the 60th edition of the Settecolli International Trophy. A presence that has a dual significance: the first is undoubtedly the prestige of competing in the temple of swimming par excellence; the second is that of performing a further test for the athletes who will be called up for the Paralympic Summer Games in Paris (29 August - 8 September). In view of the great importance of this international event, for the first time in history we will see not only our 52 Italian athletes, including most of the world and European champion national team, but also a representation of foreign nations, including Belgium, Great Britain, Spain, and Turkey, swimming in the most beautiful pool in the world. All endorsed and recognised by World Para Swimming.

Friendly Italy-France. Settebello lights up the first night

Italy-France will never be a normal challenge. During the Roman night, the spotlights turn on the Stadio del Nuoto to welcome the summer that will lead us to the Paris Olympic Games. On June 21st at 9.00 pm, with free entry, the legendary Settebello will sharpen their weapons in view of the five-round match with one of the teams on the best team in the world: France coached by Bruzzo and supported by the totem who is also former Settebello world champion Michael Bodegas.  France, who were oliympic champions in a home edition in 1924, has changed and built a lot until reaching an incredible fourth place at the World Cup in Doha. The best result in French history, when they first beat trophy holder Hungary in the quarter-finals, then lost in the semi-final on penalties against Croatia, and in followed by the "final" of third place with european champion of Spain.
Italy are world vice champions with the dream that goes out in the final when the Croatian Buric converted an extraplayer action at five seconds from the finish line, making the match 11-11. The fatal penalties were errors by Echenique and Di Fulvio after Del Lungo had saved Fatovic's shot. However, there are no regrets for the Italian team who are looking forward to the most important event with confidence: the Paris Olympic Games, which they will reach with the third final in four editions of the world championships and the European bronze won in january. A teammate now at the top, which plays on par with all the strongest teams and has included two young players in the team such as Francesco Condemi, heir to Francesco Di Fulvio (best player of the tournament), and Iocchi Gratta, an excellent modern centre.

The water polo tournaments at the Paris Olympic Games will take place from 27 July to 11 August 2024. The group stage matches are played at the Paris Aquatics Centre, while the final stage is hosted by the Paris La Défense Arena. Twelve teams are competing in the men's tournament, while ten teams are competing for medals in the women's tournament. Among the men there are two round-robin groups of six teams, from which the top four teams qualify, then continues with the direct elimination phase from the quarter-finals. Among the women there are two round-robin groups of five teams, from which the top four teams qualify for the quarterfinals. At Tokyo 2020, Serbia won gold among the men and the United States triumphed among the women.

Dal 26 al 28 giugno 2025, lo Stadio del Nuoto di Roma ospita la 61ª edizione del Trofeo Settecolli IP – Internazionali di Nuoto. Un meeting tra i più longevi e prestigiosi del panorama internazionale che coniuga sport, sicurezza acquatica e sensibilizzazione sociale. Il Trofeo Settecolli IP sarà un banco di prova per gli atleti in vista dei mondiali di Singapore in programma dal 27 luglio al 3 agosto, costituendo altresì per molti l'ultima chance di qualificazione iridata. La manifestazione mantiene intatto il suo fascino e la sua rilevanza data l'assegnazione di prize money agli atleti che vanno sul podio, diversi benefit e punti nel ranking mondiale. L'evento, che si svolge nell'Anno Santo del Giubileo 2025, rappresenta anche un'occasione per i milioni di pellegrini e turisti presenti a Roma di vivere un'esperienza sportiva di altissimo livello nello scenario storico del Foro Italico. Prevista la partecipazione di 20.000 spettatori per i quali è in programma anche un pre-show finalizzato all'intrattenimento e al coinvolgimento del pubblico.

Saranno rappresentate 32 nazioni, inclusa una selezione di atleti neutrali, ovvero russi e bielorussi che hanno respinto la guerra. Al via tutti i big del nuoto azzurro: i campioni olimpici Thomas Ceccon, Nicolò Martinenghi e Gregorio Paltrinieri, la campionessa mondiale cresciuta allo Stadio del Nuoto Simona Quadarella, ma anche Benedetta Pilato, Sara Franceschi, Alberto Razzetti, Carlos D'Ambrosio, Sara Curtis e Silvia Di Pietro. Confermata la presenza, tra gli altri, di campioni del calibro di Kliment Koleshnikov, Florian Wellbrock, Isabel Marie Gose, Ben Proud, Noè Ponti. Tre giorni di gare con le batterie a partire dalle 9:00; le finali scattano dalle 18:00. La sessione mattutina sarà visibile sul canale YouTube della Federnuoto, mentre le finali saranno trasmesse in diretta su Raidue. Evento esclusivo e inclusivo, momento di aggregazione e condivisione. In quest'ottica le gare riservate alla Finp che riunisce atleti della nazionale paralimpica, delle società civili e di Paesi stranieri. Giovedì 26 alle 21:15, inoltre, ci sarà anche la grande pallanuoto con la sfida tra l'Italia e la Croazia. Un'amichevole di lusso, trasmessa su Rai Sport, riedizione della finale mondiale di Doha 2024 vinta dai croati per 15-13 ai rigori. Sarà un’occasione imperdibile per vedere in azione il Settebello del ct Alessandro Campagna prima dei campionati mondiali di Singapore ed essere protagonista di una grande festa che negli ultimi due anni ha attirato più persone di quanto potesse contenerne il Foro Italico proprio contro la Croazia nel 2023 e contro la Francia nel 2024.

Con l’arrivo dell’estate e dei primi tuffi a mare, particolare attenzione verrà dedicata al tema della sicurezza acquatica. La Federazione Italiana Nuoto, in collaborazione con il Sindacato Italiano Balneari (SIB), continuerà a promuovere la campagna “Spiagge Sicure”, per valorizzare la figura degli assistenti bagnanti e la loro professionalità. Un compito di imprescindibile utilità sociale attraverso il controllo degli oltre 8.000 chilometri di coste marine, lacuali e fluviali che caratterizzano la nostra penisola. Inoltre, verrà ribadito il forte impegno della Federazione per la tutela degli ecosistemi marini. In questo senso si spiega l'intesa con il parco acquatico Zoomarine in occasione della Giornata Mondiale degli Oceani dello scorso 8 giugno con testimonial il campione olimpico Massimiliano Rosolino. La Federazione Italiana Nuoto, e in particolare la sua sezione salvamento, è da sempre vicina al mondo degli animali e il 30 aprile scorso è stata premiata in Campidoglio con “La Penna d’Oca”.

L'evento, organizzato in collaborazione con Sport e Salute e patrocinato da Roma Capitale e dalla Regione Lazio, conta sul supporto del Ministero per lo Sport e i Giovani, del Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale e del Ministero dell’Agricoltura, della Sovranità Alimentare e delle Foreste. Una vetrina per la promozione del Made in Italy insieme all’Agenzia per la promozione all'estero e l'internazionalizzazione delle imprese italiane (ICE), e per la promozione della corretta alimentazione, e in particolar modo della frutta in guscio italiana, che avverrà anche attraverso il lancio di una pubblicità sociale con l’Istituto di Servizi per il Mercato Agricolo Alimentare (ISMEA). Tra i media partner dell'evento figurano Rai, Radio Kiss Kiss, Radio Roma Capitale, Radiosei e Rete Sport.
