TO: AIBA and EUBC National Member Federations DATE: March 9 th, 2018 SUBJECT: EUBC Youth Men s and Women s European Boxing Championships, Roseto degli Abruzzi 2018 Dear Presidents and General Secretaries, It is my great pleasure to extend an invitation to all EUBC National Member Federations to participate in the upcoming EUBC Youth European Boxing Championships, which will be held from April 17 to 26 in Roseto degli Abruzzi, Italy. As you know, for this year, this event will be also a Qualifying Tournament for two main World Youth Boxing Events: AIBA Youth Men s and Women s World Boxing Championships 2018 and Youth Olympic Games 2018. I am very confident that the Italian Boxing Federation along with the LOC will offer not only a great organization of this Continental boxing event, but that this Championships will be become a springboard for many Champions of the future, that we will admire in the next International Boxing Events. If you have any questions in regards to the competition, please contact the EUBC Office at eubc.office@gmail.com. I m looking forward to meeting you at this upcoming Continental Championships in the wonderful city of Roseto degli Abruzzi in Italy next month soon. Sincerely yours, Franco Falcinelli EUBC President In 1980 The Italian Boxing Federation orgainsed for the first time a European Youth Boxing event. It was Rimini which held the Junior (Under 20) European Boxing championships. In 1996 our country was the ringside of the European Cadet Boxing Championships, which took place in Aosta. Our Capital City, Rome, hosted the European Schoolboy Championships in 2003. Eleven years later, 2014, Assisi, town known in the world as the Birthplace of St. Francis, had the privilege of holding the European Women s Junior&Youth Boxing Championships. It was an outstanding event, in which the best under 18 boxers of the old continent, who in the 2016 would compete in the Brazilian Olympic Games together with our Irma Testa. Nothing compares with the upcoming European Youth Men and Women Youth Boxing Championships, which will give the chance to more or less 400 athletes to spend two weeks in one of the most beautiful adriatic cities: Roseto Degli Abruzzi. For the first time a European Youth Men and Women Competition will take place in the same time and town. It must be underlined that this Championships will give the qualification cards for the AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships and Youth Olympic Games 2018. A hard and exciting job which the Italian Boxing Federation didn t hesitate to accept. I have to thank the EUBC, represented by the President Franco Falcinelli, for giving to us the organization of this competition. I have also thank the City of Roseto, the Italian Boxing Federation Abruzzo and Molise Region Committee, and the Pugilistica Roseto Boxe for the extraordinary job done in order to present on stage an unforgettable Boxing Event. Good luck to all the participants. Vittorio Lai Italian Boxing Federation President 2
