Tennis and Friends Roma 2025 Main Edition – 15° anniversario di Tennis and Friends!

A weekend dedicated to health, sport, solidarity, and entertainment: the eagerly awaited Tennis and Friends Main Edition returns to the Foro Italico from 10 to 12 October.

In the name of free prevention and entertainment, the event, in its 15th edition, continues its tour to raise public awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle and early diagnosis with the world of health and sports.

The first of the three days is dedicated to the “Progetto scuole” (School Project), which involves over 2,000 students from all levels in Rome and Lazio. Promoted in collaboration with the Assessorato ai Grandi Eventi, Sport, Turismo e Moda di Roma Capitale, the initiative aims to raise awareness of the value of prevention, promoting respect, inclusion, education, and participation among the younger generation.

Also opening on the same day are the Villaggio dello Sport (Sports Village), which combines fun and sport for everyone, featuring tournaments and performances, and the Villaggio Interforze (Interforce Village), a space for discovering the world of the armed and law enforcement forces with interactive tours and displays.

Saturday, 11 October, marks the official opening of the Villaggio della Salute (Health Village), the heart of the event, where all visitors can have free medical examinations and specialist screenings with a team of medical professionals coordinated by ASL Roma 1.

Among the guests are celebrities from the worlds of entertainment and sport, such as Veronica Maya, the event's long-standing patroness, Albano, Fiorello, Paolo Bonolis, Maria De Filippi, Roberto Ciufoli, Sebastiano Somma, Stefano Pantano, Max Giusti, Neri Marcorè, Mara Venier, Eleonora Daniele, and Marzia Roncacci, who are participating to turn the spotlight on prevention.

The programme also includes “Tennis and Friends Incontra” scientific panels and another leg of the Tennis and Friends IN CORSIA project, an initiative promoting relief, play, and resilience for the youngest and most vulnerable, bringing tennis to hospitals.
