We believe in sport as a universal language, capable of uniting people, valorizing differences, and fostering personal and collective growth. Leading this project with passion and dedication is our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.universalsportsovizzo.it\/en\/direttivo\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"57\"><strong>Board of Directors<\/strong><\/a> (composed of Alberto, Caterina, Marta, Sara, Michele, Nicola, and Romeo): a group united by the desire to make sports truly accessible to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Relive the emotions of the 1st National Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Final of the 1st EISI National Universal Football Review\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mAGQiZMRwRI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Mission<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sports for everyone, together.<\/strong> Our association offers people with and without disabilities the opportunity to play sports together, in a welcoming, safe environment that respects diversity. We want to show that inclusion is not just an ideal, but a daily practice realized on the playing field, where everyone can express their potential and feel part of a team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our daily commitment is based on four fundamental pillars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fun<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Enhancement of individual skills<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Teamwork<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Personal and relational growth<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is EISI Universal Football<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EISI Universal Football is a redesign of 5-a-side football created to break down every barrier and make the game accessible to everyone, without exclusions. On the pitch, athletes with and without disabilities (both men and women) play side by side in truly mixed teams, where each player has a decisive role tailored to their motor and cognitive abilities. This is not a simple adaptation, but a completely new and revolutionary way of playing as a team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"text-center\" style=\"margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 40px;\">\n    <a href=\"\/en\/cose-il-calcio-universale\/\" class=\"btn-all-events\">Discover the rules and how to play<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">EISI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/eisi.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EISI<\/a><\/strong> (Italian Board of Inclusive Sports) is an organization recognized nationally by the Italian Paralympic Committee as a Paralympic Promotion Body. The body promotes inclusive sports throughout Italy, supporting shared sports activities between people with and without disabilities and developing educational and social projects based on inclusion, autonomy, and active participation. The Universal Sport Sovizzo Association is proud to be affiliated with EISI, fully sharing its values and goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"EISI Presentation at ExpoAid\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cE1CSvv9Sak?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Awards and National Development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite its young age, the EISI Universal Football project has already sparked strong interest nationwide, involving families, educators, and volunteers united by a shared vision: making sports truly accessible to everyone.<sup><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A historic milestone in this direction was reached in April, when we organized the first national Universal Football tournament in collaboration with EISI, featuring several teams from Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, and Veneto. In May, we traveled to Perugia for a demonstration match, an excellent opportunity to present and promote this new sport. In June 2026, we participated in several events in Veneto to introduce and try Universal Football. A delegation of ours also traveled to Naples for a demonstration match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting from the enthusiasm generated by these events, our future goals are:<sup><\/sup>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>To give visibility to the new rules of the game.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>To promote the spread of EISI
