ASD Nuova Peloro and SSD Fair Play Messina announce that, on 9 July 2026, the FIGC approved the corporate merger between Nuova Peloro and Fair Play Next Gen.
The operation represents a strategic step that gives life to a structured sports project, capable of integrating skills, organization and methodology in a single supply chain dedicated to the growth of young footballers: from basic activity to the first team, passing through the entire youth sector.
Nuova Peloro will take part in the Promotion championship with the first team and with the Under 19 team. Furthermore, thanks to the sporting titles awarded by Fair Play Next Gen, it will also play in the Under 15 and Under 17 regional championships.
Fair Play Messina will instead continue to represent the point of reference for the training of young athletes, participating in the Elite Under 15 and Under 17 regional championships, the Under 14, Under 16 and Under 19 regional championships, as well as continuing the basic activity, from Under 7 to Under 13.
The activity of the first team and the entire youth sector, up to the rookie category, will take place at the “Sorbello Stadium” in Bisconte, a facility that will become the new operational center of the project. The basic activity will continue to be hosted in the “Cristo Re” and “Trocadero” sports centers, which provide a total of four 7-a-side pitches and two latest generation 5-a-side pitches.
On an organizational level, important synergies have already been developed between the two companies in numerous strategic areas, with the aim of further raising the quality of the services offered to members and families and strengthening the competitiveness of the entire sports project.
The new group involves a total of around 700 members, making it one of the most structured football organizations in the South.
The objective is to build a sporting model based on the sharing of skills, values and technical methodology, creating a continuous and meritocratic path that accompanies every young footballer in their growth.
As early as the 2026/27 season, numerous kids who have grown up within the youth sector will have the opportunity to compete in the Promotion championship, strengthening the connection between the youth academy and the first team and confirming the desire to concretely invest in local talent.
This merger represents a starting point and not a point of arrival: a project that consolidates the present and looks ambitiously to the future, through a solid corporate structure, a shared organization and a common vision oriented towards the growth and valorization of young people.
