Milano — an international and innovative city — is deeply connected to the values of sport and stands as a benchmark for sustainability, inclusion, and cultural change. Its central role in the European landscape and vibrant civic participation make it the ideal place to host an event with a forward-looking vision.

The program kicked off October 26, 2025 with a public gathering at Teatro Carcano, where the project was presented and the importance of women’s sport discussed with guests, athletes, and leading figures in the field.

From there, a series of activities will unfold for schools, universities, and citizens — including talks, workshops, educational programs, and a photography exhibition (January–May 2026) entirely dedicated to women’s empowerment through sport.

The highlight arrives in May/June 2026 with two days of women’s five-a-side football, an innovative and engaging tournament that will transform Milano into a model city for the future of women’s sport — creating lasting social impact and local pride.
