Seeing the Porto Torres Tennis Club celebrated nationally among Italy's leading clubs is wonderful news for the entire city. It's recognition of years of work built with passion, expertise, and a keen focus on the social function of sport. My congratulations go to President Stefano Caria, the management, the coaches, the athletes, and the entire Club community. And a special thought goes to Francesco Pintus, currently a city councilor, TC Porto Torres member of the year 2025, and an activist with whom we have shared struggles and political commitment for years.
This is how Regional Councilor Valdo Di Nolfo commented on the recognition awarded to the Porto Torres Tennis Club by Il Sole 24 Ore, which described the Porto Torres club as one of the most virtuous experiences on the national scene. With over 400 members, students, and regulars, a focus on youth development and the inclusion of people with disabilities, and recognition as the first Standard School in Sardinia, the Tennis Club has become a true sporting and social hub for the city over the years. This growth has also been accompanied by investments in its facilities and regional resources earmarked for modernizing and upgrading the facility. "When I worked to get the Sardinia Region to invest in the Porto Torres Tennis Club, I did so with precisely this goal: to support organizations capable of transforming public investments into opportunities for the entire community. And the project, "Tennis for All," implemented with the support of the Sardinia Region, focused on inclusion and the removal of architectural barriers, to make sport accessible to everyone. Not only that: we're also contributing to the creation of the new Club House, a space for socializing and conviviality. Because sport promotes not only competition and a healthy lifestyle, but also community building and shared spaces.
