In the year of its 25th anniversary, a delegation of Menarini Fair Play Ambassadors was received in audience by the Holy Father in the Paul VI Audience Hall
VATICAN CITY, December 22nd, 2021 - This morning, in the solemn setting of the Paul VI Audience Hall, a delegation of Fair Play Menarini Ambassadors was received in audience by the Holy Father, bearing messages of hope, respect, ethics, and dedication to others, typical of fair play.
The Fair Play Award, committed to the common good of sport has, every year since 1996, acknowledged sportspeople and institutions from all over the world who have distinguished themselves for their ethics and contribution to society. Since the very first edition, award winners have also become Fair Play Menarini Ambassadors, representing the noblest values of sport and becoming positive role models and examples for future generations.
During this morning's audience, a large delegation of Fair Play Menarini Ambassadors, representing winners of past editions of the Fair Play Menarini Award, had the honour of being able to confer a commemorative plaque to the Holy Father as Fair Play Ambassador.
