(ANSA) – ROME, JULY 22 – The Milan 2023 trip stops in Cairo for one of the most significant moments of the path that will lead to the Fencing World Championship which will be organized in Italy in a year. Tomorrow afternoon, on the last day of the World Cup underway in the Egyptian capital, Milan will officially receive the flag of the International Fencing Federation as the next venue for the world championship. The official handover ceremony from Egypt to Italy will take place at the Cairo International Stadium Complex, where the most important competitive event of the season is taking place.
The Italian delegation that will collect the flag will be composed of the president of the Italian fencing Federation, Paolo Azzi, the Ambassador of Italy in Egypt, Michele Quaroni, the president of the Milan 2023 Organizing Committee, Marco Fichera, and the President of CONI Lombardia, Marco Shore.
At that point, the countdown to the eighth Absolute World Championship will officially begin, which will be hosted by Italy, for the first time in a city “cradle” of international fencing such as Milan.
“It will be a symbolically very important moment, because it marks the real beginning of the journey towards our World Cup and it is an honor to have Ambassador Quaroni at our side, with whom we lived the splendid event of the La Bellezza in un Gesto project a few days ago – ha said Azzi -. In the November FIE Congress, Milan achieved an extraordinary victory thanks to an authoritative and appreciated candidacy. Now, after the flag has passed, there will be hard work, as has already been done in recent months, achieve the goal we are projected to: offer a World Cup that is the exact expression of the great organizational tradition of Italian fencing and the enormous potential of the city of Milan “.
