With the revision of the new calendar there are opportunities to host a tournament of a level equivalent to the ATP 250. What we have hosted was linked to a one-year license. We will talk about it with the club and the Region, I have already talked about it in the Federal Council: we want to bring to Cagliari the biggest tournament ever seen in these parts. With the presence of some of the strongest players in the world “.
Perspectives also for a new facility that could relaunch Cagliari in a Davis dimension: “New sports hall in Cagliari? There is also the push of other disciplines such as volleyball and table tennis: we are talking about a facility that needs a active involvement of the Region for an intervention suited to national relevance as well.
We would like it to be a facility that is not already born too small and that is consistent with the growth objectives of our and other sports with the involvement of congresses and shows. I am optimistic: we are working in the right direction “, concluded Binaghi. (ANSA).
