FS will be Premium partner of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics - Economy

The Ferrovie dello Stato Group will be a Premium partner of the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. A commitment that FS will carry out with its companies and its four business hubs. "The values of the Olympic Games reflect those that animate our group. These will be popular games, so the mobility factor will be key. This partnership is an opportunity for us to contribute to the growth of the country by acting on multiple fronts. We are now in a delicate phase of the organization, all the actions planned for the games must be successful. And this is achieved through teamwork. With this agreement we mark the entry of FS into this team. When Italy works as a system, it can overcome obstacles and achieve goals," said the president of the FS Italiane Group, Nicoletta Giadrossi, during the presentation of the partnership at the Ostiense station in Rome. The FS Infrastructure Hub will be committed to ensuring an enhancement of assistance, especially for people with reduced mobility, through a strengthening of garrisons and routine maintenance in stations and on the main railway lines to and from the Olympic and Paralympic areas. The Passenger Hub will increase train and bus connections, preparing dedicated offers and booklets. The FS Group's Urban Hub will take action on the availability of logistics and intermodal transport hub areas, providing new hubs for parking in the locations affected by sporting events and will be involved in the regeneration of spaces. The Logistics Hub will be entrusted with the strengthening of logistics facilities. "We are honored to celebrate this moment because the Olympics are a powerful driver for our economy and for the country, a strategic accelerator of economic transformations. Being a partner with the world of sport is very important to us, it means being an integral part of the social development of a country. FS feels in synergy with the organizing committee and the foundation and we are there with all our hubs. The stations must be ready, they must be stretched and polished and work perfectly. We will have the burden and the honor of transporting athletes and people, so the organizational machine must be activated in time. It is a great effort that is also a great responsibility for us. It is a commitment that we all feel together, we are proud and honored convinced that we will be able to do our part and find a country ready to win this challenge," said the CEO of FS, Luigi Ferraris. According to the Minister for Sport and Youth, Andrea Abodi, FS is "among the largest industrial groups in the country. The Group is growing and looking to the future, also with the Olympics and Paralympics that will be the most popular in history. So who better than FS to help us make the message of sport universal." Also present at the presentation of the partnership were the president of the Milano Cortina 2026 Foundation and the Italian National Olympic Committee, Giovanni Malagò, the vice president of the Milano Cortina 2026 Foundation and president of the Italian Paralympic Committee, Luca Pancalli and the CEO of the Milano Cortina 2026 Foundation Andrea Varnier.
