The leaders of Sport and Health spoke at today’s Federal Council to illustrate the works for the covering and expansion of the tennis stadium: it will have 13,500 seats and will be ready in a year and a half, in time for the start of the new league in October 2027
While waiting for the team, the NBA Europe project already has a home in Rome. What effectively made official a rumor that has been going around for some time were the updates on the works for the roofing of the Tennis Center of the Foro Italico illustrated at today’s Federal Council of Federbasket with the participation of Marco Mezzaroma and Diego Nepi Molineris, president and CEO of Sport and Health. The facility will have 13,500 seats, approximately three thousand more than now, and therefore absolutely in line with the standards of the new European league. A partial novelty is the timing, given that the completion of the project was announced for the end of 2027: instead today there was talk of delivery for the summer of that year, therefore in line with the departure of NBA Europe currently set for October 2027.
THE FRANCHISE
—
If the cards are more exposed on the Milanese team for NBA Europe, although still to be deciphered even after last Monday’s meeting in London, on Rome they remain well covered. Given that a team that participates in Serie A will be needed, there is the hole left by Trapani’s exclusion from the championship (the Federal Council has made it official that there will therefore be only one relegation), there are the usual rumors never confirmed by those directly interested in a transfer of Cremona’s title and there are rumors about the fact that among the possible consortiums in the field, including foreign ones, the one in the lead at the moment would be the one linked to Paul Matiasic, current owner of an important reality like Basketball Trieste, second only to Milan in terms of attendance among LBA teams, and therefore perhaps not personally but as a bridge to facilitate the entry of other investors. Also in the background is the involvement of the reborn Virtus, which in recent months acquired the brand of the historic Virtus, but also of the other local companies Stella Ebk, linked to Olidata, and Luiss. Everything is still in motion.
