The future of Italian Basketball could have changed in the short term with today’s Federation elections. However, Gianni Petrucci was confirmed as the head of the movement in Italy for four more years, until 2028. This will be his 4th consecutive mandate.
“I will be the President of all, as I always have been. We all have good plans, and everybody would like to change the country. I am serene and calm, hopeful and sure that we will be able to do nice things,” he said when he first reacted to the news in Roma’s Olympic Stadium.
Gianni Petrucci managed to win the election race against Guido Valori, getting 68 out of 96 votes, with 5 blank ballots. That’s the 70.83% preference to confirm the incumbent as President of the Italian Basketball Federation for another four-year cycle.
