Perspective: Building a Lasting Legacy
Ticket presales for the Milan Cortina 2026 events are showing strong performance. Organizers anticipate selling 200 million tickets across both the Olympic and Paralympic Games, with the goal of achieving budget balance within the five-year period.
Following the Olympic games, the Paralympic Games will commence, featuring opening and closing ceremonies at the Arena of Verona, highlighting the event’s commitment to integrating culture, sports, and inclusivity.
Varnier emphasized that “Milan-Cortina 2026 will be much more than a sporting competition,” articulating a vision for a project that aims to leave Italy with enhanced infrastructure, new economic momentum, and a revitalized sense of community. This event underscores the shared responsibilities of both public and private sectors, and also a strategic outlook for Italy’s future on the global sports stage.
The challenge has been set, and Italy is determined to succeed both within and beyond the sporting arena.
