From 23 to 27 September 2026, Vigevano Castle hosts the new edition of Sport Exhibition, five days dedicated to sport, the discovery of different disciplines and inclusive participation.

Organised by Pool Vigevano Sport in collaboration with the Municipality of Vigevano, CONI Regional Committee of Lombardy, Sport e Salute, Centro Nazionale Sportivo Libertas and Golden Flamingo, the event brings together schools, sports clubs, families and local residents for a programme of activities, demonstrations, meetings and talks.

During Sport Exhibition 2026, the spaces of Vigevano Castle become a meeting place where visitors can discover and try a wide range of sports.

Golf, gymnastics, skating, dance, tennis, basketball, volleyball, football, rugby, cycling, badminton, boxing, martial arts, fencing, athletics, horse riding, skiing, climbing and other activities will be featured in a programme designed for people of all ages.

The morning sessions will be dedicated to students from participating schools, while the activities during the rest of the day and throughout the weekend will be open to the public.

It is an opportunity to get closer to sport, take part in activities and discover the sports organisations and clubs active in the Vigevano area.

One of the new features of the 2026 edition is Inclusion Hub, a dedicated space designed to encourage participation by people with disabilities.

Accessible activity stations will allow children and young people to take part directly in the various sports on offer, promoting greater accessibility and participation in sporting activities.

The project is one of the key elements of Sport Exhibition, which combines the promotion of sport with opportunities for discussion on inclusion, independence and innovation.

The programme also includes conferences, meetings and presentations focusing on different aspects of sport.
