Tycke Sport, assignee of this project, works continuously with its mission of promoting these sports in the territory through a qualified and top-level staff and firmly believes in the partnership which sees it involved with collaboration agreements with many sporting and non-sporting associations of the Third Sector.

Lucky Friends, together with Mamas Lucky, is a partner of Tycke Sport in the supply of athletes for the disciplines of Badminton and ParaBadminton – who have already brought success to Tycke Sport (remember Lodi and Potenza 2025) – and is a project partner, again with Mamas Lucky, in the very important project “Sport di Tutti prisons 2024” with the Juvenile Penal Institute of Catanzaro, which will end in December 2026.
