Magglingen — From July 13 to 20, 2024, 22 children and young people as well as carers from a Ukrainian judo club will spend a training camp at the National Youth Sports Center Tenero CST. This is made possible by the Federal Office of Sport BASPO with the support of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs EDA and the Embassy of Ukraine in Switzerland.
22 children and young people as well as four trainers from Ukraine will have the opportunity to train at the National Youth Sports Center Tenero CST from July 13 to 20. They belong to a judo club from the Kyiv region and are traveling to Ticino for a training camp.
Judo and other sports
The young athletes from Ukraine will not only train judo in Tenero, but will also take part in other sporting activities. The program includes two CrossFit training sessions and excursions in the region. One evening, the group also meets for dinner with representatives of the Ukrainian Embassy, the EDA and the BASPO.
BASPO finances the stay
The training camp for Ukrainian children and young people in Ticino is fully financed by the BASPO. The BASPO covers the costs of food and accommodation as well as on-site supervision. The BASPO worked closely with the EDA and the Ukrainian Embassy to organize it.
Last year, a volleyball team from Ukraine had the opportunity to train for a week at the youth sports center in Tenero. At the beginning of Russia’s military aggression in spring 2022, several dozen Ukrainian junior cyclists also received accommodation, meals and other services at the National Sports Center in Magglingen.
The BASPO is pleased to be able to give the children and young people some joy and hope through sport.
