He was vice -president Vicar of Coni Calabria and national councilor. Several assignments at the federal level in tennis, representing Italy in the Europe Commission. He worked on the municipality of Cosenza in the sports plant sector. It was his idea of creating a museum in Cosenza with a library and multimedia room, video library, a center at the service of Calabrian sport, where the Olympic torches made for the first time in their history.

Pino Abate Now he wants to make all his experience, his passion, his competence, knowledge available to the Calabrian sports movement: he is applying to preside over Coni Calabria (the elections will take place on April 12). A candidacy required and wanted by the sport of the Calabrian territory. Knowledge and competence that Pino Abate wants to transfer to Toto to Reggio Calabria, where the headquarters of the Coni and the Sports School are currently located. The other competitor is Tino Scopelliti, representing the sports promotion bodies. The outgoing Maurizio Condipodero can no longer apply.
The choice of Pino Abate is the result of the initiative of the Catanzaro, Crotone and Vibonese sport. Fixals came from the base, as well as from sports institutions recognizing Pino Abate the passion and preparation that have always distinguished his work. He was betrayed ten years ago, in the previous elections of Coni Calabria, by a fringe of Cosenza sports federations having the right to vote. This time the sense of belonging should prevail.

To deal with and solve the problems that from time to time. Great sharing between all federations. I would also like to create a working group that develops planning aimed at job opportunities and growth of sports clubs, improving existing structures in the area. I hope there are no political interference. Politics must support and promote sport, but do not decide ».
