«Lo sport genera in Italia 24,7 miliardi
di valore aggiunto e occupa 400mila persone. I Giochi di Milano Cortina
produrranno 5,3 miliardi di euro di impatto economico e 3 miliardi in
infrastrutture».
I
found another source that says the Italian sports ecosystem contributes over
€32 billion in added value (about 1.5% of GDP)

In an essay you should give a couple of examples of sports ambassadors.
Official ones like Jannik
Sinner and unofficial
ones like Kimi Antonelli.
You should provide a section on how sports diplomacy
is linked to economic diplomacy – companies that benefit from sports diplomacy
like Technogym,
Diadora & EA7 sportswear, Webuild for sports infrastructure and football
clubs like Juventus FC, AC Milan, Inter Milan, and SSC Napoli that drive
high-yield sports tourism and capture international commercial investment (such
as diaspora monetization and Middle Eastern partnerships). Ferrari and its
luxury car sales.
You could add something
on avoiding the potential dangers – when has sports diplomacy failed ?
Economically or politically or in both fields? For example -
The 2016 Rio de Janeiro
Olympics. Massive Debt and Cost: The Games carried a price tag of roughly $13
billion to $14 billion amidst a deep economic recession in Brazil, pushing the
state and city of Rio de Janeiro toward bankruptcy and leading to mass protests
The 1972 Summer Olympics
in Munich, West Germany, are remembered not as a failure of athletic
competition, but as a historic security and political tragedy centered around
the Munich Massacre on September 5–6, 1972
The 2026 FIFA World Cup faced a mix of massive
commercial success (such as record revenues, over $15 billion, and high-scoring
matches) alongside severe organizational, financial, and political criticisms
that led many observers to label off-field aspects a failure or a "soft
power" disappointment. Messi was praised for his sportsmanship but
Argentina was criticised for its negative tactics and attitude. Spain was
praised for its energetic performance and giving young players the spotlight.
And of course, if
football fans riot or cause problems abroad, this damages the image of the
country. So clubs, sports personalities and playes must act responsibly (like
diplomats!)
Italian men’s football seems
to have suffered a structural and competitive decline recently, marked by the
national team missing three consecutive men's World Cups (2018, 2022, and 2026)
and this damages its traditionally strong image.
However, on the positive side, the
rise and success of Italian women's sports have driven a profound cultural and
social transformation in Italy, acting as a powerful tool for gender
empowerment, sport and health integration, and national inspiration, while
promoting an image of Italy as a progressive society. Examples - Italian
women’s football and Italian women’s athletics.
