CSIT WORLDSPORTSGAMES 2025: AGWA AT THE LOUTRAKI CONGRESS WITH ITS GENERAL COMMISSIONER Walter Sabbioneda

The 46th CSIT ExCom Congress took place in Loutraki, Greece, last week with the presentation and organization of the next WorldSportsGames2025 that will take place in June in the Greek city. Many sports will be the protagonists and athletes will not miss football, thanks to the commitment and organization of AGWA, Amateur Gridiron World Association, which attended the Congress with its General Commissioner, Walter Sabbioneda. The WorldSportsGames will see three types of sport: “demonstration” which involves some disciplines that are played locally depending on the participating country, then “partner” sports that are organized by CSIT members, as in the case of American football organized by AGWA and finally the “official sports”, where there are at least 4 CSIT members who practice the sport and then form technical committees. Specifically, AGWA spokesman Walter Sabbioneda, after visiting the sports facilities with the organisers, also had a meeting with the CSIT general secretary, Wolfgang Burghardt, presenting the BACKINTHEGAME project and the newborn team in Italy of female tackle Team Scarlet Phoenix.

Together with the CSIT president and AICS chairman, Bruno Molea, an important discussion took place on the topics of empowerment/gender equality of equal opportunities within the CSIT with Elisabeth Speiser-Havel, who has expressed her willingness to help AGWA in the dissemination of the women’s project.

Speiser-Havel, president of the Catch’n Serve International Federation and in Austria, General Secretary of Catch’n Serve, who is enthusiastic about the BACKINTHEGAME project, She did not hide his interest in attending the next 23 November in Garbagnate Milanese to the international test match that will see the Scarlet Phoenix committed against the English Titans Manchester.

Sabbioneda was pleased to have succeeded in raising awareness among the representatives of CSIT, who could make a further contribution to the visibility of women’s sport and specifically to tackle football in pink.
