ROME, 2 September 2020 – The spotlight is on the XXIV International Fair Play Menarini Award, which was officially presented in Rome. The 2020 programme and winners were revealed in the presence of CONI (The Italian National Olympic Committee) Chairman Giovanni Malagò.

Once again this year, the award winners include many historic names such as the former Cuban volleyball player Joël Despaigne, the soccer legends José Altafini and Zbigniew Boniek and coaches Arrigo Sacchi, Louis van Gaal and Alessandro Campagna, who coached the Italian National water polo team. There are also athletes representing a wide range of disciplines, like the motorcyclist Manuel Poggiali, the Fanchini sisters, stars of Alpine skiing, the golfer Federica Dassù; and stories of courage and determination from yachtsman Andrea Stella.
