The new issue of the I Tennis Foundation Magazine is online, providing a detailed look at the new season of the Little Tennis Champions 2026-27 charity program and the activities supporting the development of the young talents supported by the Foundation.
The Magazine dedicates extensive coverage to the new edition of the program, which this year involves boys and girls from Italy, Albania, Kosovo, Montenegro, and Romania. The project offers 26 scholarships divided into four categories (Full, Gold, Basic, Light), with a program that combines international training, educational activities, and participation in ITF Under-18 tournaments in Italy and Europe. This program is designed to accompany the young scholarship recipients through a year of sporting, mental, and personal growth. The new Magazine provides a detailed look at the program’s technical team, a top-notch team led by a team that represents the excellence of Italian and international tennis, with integrated skills to guide the young players on a journey that goes beyond the court.
An entire section is dedicated to the Foundation’s great ambassadors, including Lorenzo Sonego, Lorenzo Musetti, Matteo Arnaldi, Flavio Cobolli, Jasmine Paolini, Elisabetta Cocciaretto, and Lucia Bronzetti, along with technical figures such as Ivan Ljubicic, Emilio Sanchez, Renzo Furlan, Gipo Arbino, Stefano Cobolli, Simone Tartarini, Francesca Schiavone, and many others. A network of champions and professionals who support the project and inspire the young scholarship recipients.
There will also be space for Charity Night 2026 at the Circolo Montecitorio, one of the most exciting events of the year. During the evening, diplomas were awarded to the 12 scholarship recipients of the 2025-26 program, in the presence of coaches, champions, and international tennis stars. Guests included Simone Tartarini, Renzo Furlan, Gipo Arbino, Damiano Fiorucci, Matteo Donati, Fabio Chiappini, and Claudio Pistolesi, hosted by Stefano Meloccaro. An event that celebrated the students’ journey and the Foundation’s mission: offering real opportunities to talented young people from vulnerable backgrounds.
This issue also features the first edition of Cuneo Tennis Talents, the new local project launched in 2026 and dedicated to young Piedmontese players. This initiative further expands the Foundation’s network and confirms its commitment to investing in the region and its younger generations.
The new issue of the Magazine also highlights some key statistics for our association, which, since 2019, has awarded 60 scholarships, played in 62 international tournaments, and spent 560 days traveling with scholarship recipients. An ongoing commitment that unites sport, education, inclusion, and hope.
