(ANSA) – ROME, 02 FEB – “The Italian Confederation of Sportsmen strongly hopes that there will be new refreshments for the world of sport, an important economic sector for the whole country in which thousands of people are employed”. Thus the No. 1 of the Assocalciatori, Umberto Calcagno, as president of Cids – an association that brings together the representatives of football players (Aic), coaches (Aiac), cyclists (Accpi), volleyball players (Aip), basketball players (Giba ), rugby players (Air) and golfers (Pgai) -, who met to discuss, as well as the supports, the decrees and the reform that involves sport in general.
“In this delicate phase we must not forget the rights that concern athletes and formally amateur athletes – said Calcagno – who await the definitive entry into force of the sport decrees in the next year, in order to have the minimum insurance and social security protections recognized and the abolition of the by now obsolete and outdated institution of the sporting constraint “.
There is no sustainability “- continued Calcagno -” without rights and the best response to the problems that amateur sport is experiencing must be a strong and qualified intervention by public authorities in both directions: support for clubs, rights and safeguards for thousands of sports workers. We will all have to work together “- he concluded -” to find the right balance and complete the reform process which cannot, in any way, be wasted “. (ANSA).
