Christian Vieri launched the 2025 “Bilboa Bobo Summer Cup Padel Tour” in the U-Power Arena, bringing attention to Lignano Sabbiadoro once more. The seaside village becomes a thriving center of entertainment, sports, and camaraderie on August 1. Over the course of three days, football legends and amateur players will come together for padel contests, exhilarating challenges, and moments of camaraderie.
Legendary Football Players Take the Court
Nine legendary football players, with a combined career total of over 2,700 Serie A matches and nearly 500 goals, will take to the padel courts. These include Alessandro Calori, Massimo Maccarone, Cristian Brocchi, and German Denis. By exchanging their cleats for rackets, these athletes interact with fans, encourage a healthy lifestyle, and display their competitive drive in a new setting.
Entertainment and Unity
The event is pulsating with purpose and intensity beyond the matches. The highlight is the All-Star Tournament on Saturday night, which is followed by a charity dinner at the famed Mr. Charlie location. “SOStegno 70,” an organization that supports young individuals with type 1 diabetes, will benefit from the evening’s proceeds. This combination of philanthropy and sport highlights the event’s overarching goal of leveraging athletic passion to promote significant change.
