In his report, President Malagò started by complimenting Valentino Rossi for the excellent world championship performance and then briefed the Board on the recent ANOC executive council meeting in Washington, where Luca di Montezemolo made his first appearance as President of the Committee for the Promotion of Rome 2024, gaining much popularity and the attention of the international sport community.

The Board then acknowledged the present qualification of 114 athletes to the Rio Games, and showed its satisfaction for the positive visit of a delegation of Team Managers to Brazil, lead by Carlo Mornati. The Board then examined the report presented by Carlo Tavecchio in relation to the latest events connected to the publication of some declarations against which the Figc President has taken legal action.  Carlo Mornati was confirmed as CONI representative for the Board of Directors of the Mutual Fund (Fondo per la Mutualità).  In the light of the outcomes arisen, the Board then decided to place the Italian Bowling Federation under the administration of Francesco Purromuto (seconded by Alvio La Face and Antonello De Tullio).
