TERAMO

Surrounded by the scenery made up of the peaks and walls of the mountain range Gran Sasso and of the Monti della Laga, Teramo is the center of a local community spread along the valley of the Tordino River, between the Vomano River and the Vibrata Valley, and goes towards the marvellous coast. It is less than 30 km. from the seaside, with 50 km. of won-derful stretches of fine golden sand and unpolluted water, and from the mountains, with the most beautiful and striking peaks of the central Appennino Chain covered in snow. Teramo is rich in history and nature and enjoys a lively cultural life.Thanks to important evidence of its Roman and Medieval ages, to the presence of its National Parks and to the great importance of its gastronomic tradition, Teramo is a tour-istic attraction of a certain significance. It is a city continuously evolving which is trying to change its aspect and its economic situation in many ways: Teramo’s economy, which used to be mostly based on agriculture, is now mainly based on industrial and scientific plants such as the presence of the “Laboratory of Nuclear Physics” on the territory - the biggest in the World -, the Astronomy Observatory at Collurania and the Experimental Veterinary Health Institute (for animal health, veterinary public health and environmental protection in the interest of safeguarding animal and human health). Great support has been given to the city by the University which, thanks to its degree courses, academic degrees and the many postgraduate schools and advanced diploma courses, has attracted about 11,000 students.(Ref.: official site of the City of Teramo - www.comune.teramo.it)

THE PROVINCE OF TERAMO

The territory of the province of Teramo, with a surface of 1,948 km2, except for the short coast strip, is mostly hilly. On the west side, the territory rises up to the peaks of the Gran Sasso mountain range and on the north to the Monti della Laga. Therefore, the landscape is vari-ous and of great interest: from the deep-blue of the sea and the warm reflection of the golden sand, to the different shades of green, brown and gold of the cultivated hills, and the deep-green of the woods and the grey mountains (or bright white snow tops in Winter).

In the “Green Region of Europe”, the territory of Teramo stands out for the presence of widespread woods.

Teramo’s coast is the longest in the region of Abruzzo - with a width which in some places is more than 100 m. and a homogeneous length of about 50 km. It is the most welcoming, with a seafront lined with trees and flowers, clean stretches of fine golden sand, shallow water and, above all, clean.

The climate is obviously very different between the coastline and the mountains. At the former, the climate is typically Mediterranean, with minimum temperatures usually above 0°C; at the latter, Summers are fresh whereas Winters experience temperatures which often fall below 0°C. In the central area and particularly in Teramo which is situated in a valley surrounded by hills, the climate is mostly mild, even if on some Winter days it gets really cold and sometimes snows.Teramo can be reached:

• By air: from Rome (Fiumicino Airport 170 Km) from Pescara (D’Abruzzo Airport 55 Km); from Ancona (Falconare Airport 125 km)

• By train (from the railway station of Giulianova)• By car (on the Adriatic motorway A14 and the Motorway A-

24 Rome-L’Aquila-Teramo)

A UNIQUE PLACE IN THE WORLD

WHAT THE “INTERAMNIA WORLD CUP” IS

For 38 years the Interamnia World Cup, recognised by the Interna-tional Handball Federation as “the most important handball youth tournament in the World”, has gathered young athletes (from 9 to 21 years of age) coming from all over the World in Tera-mo from the 4th to the 10th July in the name of the highest ideals of sport and cultural exchanges.

During the years, the event has given its contribution to opening the boundaries of the city, encouraging relationships and the knowledge of a continuously evolving world: thanks to handball, young people have realized the importance of living a healthy life; many volunteers have given their contribution to the success of the tournament, and the systemic and synergetic effort of the local coun-cils, school institutions, authorities, sports organizations, compa-nies and other important bodies of the city, have given a concrete testimony of the value of collaboration within the networks of territorial excellence.

The Cup has developed many secondary events with great social and cultural value: from the international crafts exhibition-market “Hand Made” to “Streetanimation”, the performances of street artists coming from all over the World, without forgetting the Great Open-ing Parade “Teramo, Italy Here” which turns the streets and squares of the city into a sparkling parade of lights, music and colours.

The impact of the positive contamination on so many different cul-tures has many times highlighted the cultural value of the event which is perfectly consistent with the policies promoted by the European

Union in such an area. From this point of view, the city of Teramo has been a pioneer and continues to represent a case of excellence to be promoted and supported.

IN 38 YEARS…

During its previous 38 years, the Interamnia World Cup has attracted the international attention as much as to be commemorated with a special mention in the year 2002 by the International Handball Federation as “The World’s biggest junior handball tourna-ment”.This special acknowledgement follows the one made by U.N.I.C.E.F. that, in 1989, declared Teramo to be “A City Open to the World”, giv-ing further prestige to the important “kermes”.Once more, we would like to thank the I.H.F. and feel the duty to further highlight the most characteristic aspects of the event from a technical-sports point of view, as well as in social, tourist and cul-tural-recreational terms, which make this tournament truly unique, and without doubt “the biggest and greatest in the World”.

Technical sporting aspects

The Interamnia event deserves the following comments:

• Year by year, it has succeeded in gathering in one city, Teramo, (with an average of 42 countries during the past 23 years) as many as 7,875 teams coming from 107 countries, making up more than 47% of all the countries in the World and more than 64% of all the countries in which handball is played.

WELCOME TO THE WHOLE WORLD!

INVITATION

The Interamnia World Cup is facing the 39th edition stronger and prouder of its experience which, in time, has given it great fame on the international field for its originality and for the richness of its technical-sports and technical-cultural contents.We heartily invite you to participate in our tournament and to give the due importance to the fact that in Teramo you will find what is not found in other tournaments, most of which, actu-ally, were born following our footsteps.In fact, in our city you will not meet a great number of teams coming from bordering countries but you will discover a more human aspect, based on a varied representation of teams com-ing from the five continents.You will have the possibility to be at ease in a city which is open and friendly in every respect and which, through the tournament, has become the promoter of original and significant initiatives in favour of solidarity and brotherhood among peoples.Besides, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful and rich cultural-recreational programme of events, and have the possibility of creating new relationships, living a healthy life and sustainable tourism.Considering the commitment of the governors of our province, our region and our country to support the event in a stronger and more adequate way, we have attempted to make it as appealing as possible and to enrich it with those elements that have been lacking in recent times.We are therefore ready to welcome a large number of enthusiastic participants who are aware that they are giving rise to a unique event in Teramo.We thus extend a hearty invitation to come and enjoy a whole week of sport, tourism, and entertainment once again, without any racial, custom or political barriers or distinction.

A multitude of teams, coming from 107 countries, representing the 5 continents, have taken part in the previous 38 editions of the tournament. The number of countries represented until now constitutes a uniqueness on the International field, a real record without precedents and a pride for the tournament. In fact, there are no other events in the world of handball which have achieved such a record until now!

THE MOST INTERNATIONAL HANDBALL TOURNAMENT WORLDWIDE

• It has always given the greatest priority to the quality of its participants (rather than the quantity), and has since 1983 featured the most important personalities, such as:

a) Trainers, managers and players of Under 21 national teams from 60 countries rep-resenting 5 continents, for a total of 244 teams, 135 male teams and 111 female ones (amongst which the world champion male teams in the category from the Soviet Union and Egypt and the female teams from the Soviet Union, Romania, Denmark and Russia);

b) Trainers, managers and players of the youth teams of the most prestigious Euro-pean clubs (amongst which 14 winners of European Cups at senior team levels, representing 9 countries and 132 participants in European Cups at senior team levels, representing 31 countries);

c) Leading personalities of international handball (managers and trainers/former ath-letes of international fame), journalists (of papers and leading television stations) as well as photographic reporters;

• It has also provided an important contribution to:

a) The growth in the referee sector as it has, up to date, invited 2,701 referees from 72 countries representing 4 continents;

b) The technical development of countries less evolved in a sporting sense, which, thanks to the Interamnia Cup have been able to come to the forefront in an intercon-tinental context (such as Afghanistan, Andorra, Bangladesh, Djibouti, Guinea, Ken-ya, Libya, Mozambique, Columbia, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Greenland, Hong Kong, Honduras, New Caledonia, Panama, Dominican Rep., Reunion, Uruguay, Lebanon, Mongolia, Palestine, Thailand, Albania, Armenia, The Isle of Man, Malta);

• It has provided the impetus for many other tournaments world wide and has increased the spreading of handball on the international sphere, further enhancing the image and the reputation of the sport itself.

Organizing Aspects The sports association organising the event has succeeded in creat-ing a wide network of precious collaborators made up of managers of sports federations, clubs and bodies of various kind who have the duty of offi cially representing the Interamnia World Cup in 170 coun-tries, all the countries of the World where handball is played.The above mentioned initiative shows the extraordinary “power” of the tournament and, besides creating more solid bases for its future, has the intention of offering the already great international handball family the possibility of creating new contacts and exchanges which are, without fail, useful for the extra growth of this sports discipline all around the world.

Social aspects

The Interamnia World Cup has also another merit which is also one of its strong points, and that is, that it has always extended the invitation to participate to all, without making any distinction of race, tradition or political current, and that it has always made the greatest effort to overcome political barriers, also providing an opportunity for teams from countries in military confl ict to come together and play.In fact during the times of the most critical political tension, teams from Lebanon and Israel, Iran and Irak, England and Argentina, Bos-nia and Serbia, China and Taiwan, have found themselves together in Teramo, thereby providing a highly signifi cant message of peace and love among peoples, put into practice through sport.

Team for Peace

However, the most important pride of the tournament is to have cre-ated, during the 32nd Cup, an original initiative which allowed 24 play-ers coming from 5 continents to belong to an ideal and unique team of the world for 7 days: the “United World Team”, better called the “Team for Peace”.The original team was made up of athletes coming from countries who are enemies at the moment, in war or in a moment of post-war reconstruction, but still with strong diplomatic tensions, coming from China and Taiwan, from South Korea and North Korea, from India and Pakistan, from Iraq and Kuwait, from Iran, from Israel, from Palestine and Lebanon, from the United States of America and from Vietnam and Afghanistan, from Morocco and Algeria; from Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo and Serbia; from Turkey and Cyprus, with the participation of Italy as the host country and a representative of the 5th Continent, with an Australian player giving a full sense of universality to the event.

The event had never been experienced before in the world of sport and it highlighted the overcoming of any logic of confl icts, of all material and immaterial barriers which divide peoples and culture.

The Interamnia World Cup is also on Facebook:Join the Interamnia World Cup Offi cial Facebook Group:you will regularly receive up-dates and news on the tournament.

Tourist aspects

The participants of the tournament have also been greatly attracted by the wonderful natu-ral features of Teramo and its local area, with its wonderful sea and mountain landscapes, and cultural traditions. There are also a host of different excursion possibilities offered to them, which have given them the opportunity to visit some of the most beautiful cities in Italy such as Rome, Naples, Florence and Venice, and enjoy their wonderful artistic, historic and architectural heritage.

Cultural-recreational aspects

Finally, the event also features a wealth of non-sporting secondary initiatives, which are highly spectacular and original:• The grand opening parade which takes place in the old town centre by night, and

which forms the most emblematic and spectacular feature of the event• The traditional “Miss” and Mr” beauty contests• Ethnic and rock music festivals• Disco evenings• Folk games and traditions• International craft and entertainment shows in the street• Technical conferences and meetings• Convivial meetings with the participation of managers• Exhibitions• Tourist excursions• Beach handball tournaments (held on the wonderful beaches of the Adriatic Coast)• The cultural international happening events promoted during the past three years
