Born in the USA, Played in Italy

250 Years of American Excellence

American sports are coming together in Trieste!

Born in the USA, Played in Italy – 250 Years of American Excellence brings young people together through sport, culture, education and the values of respect, teamwork, collaboration and innovation.

The project is organized by two U.S. Exchange Alumni, with the support of the U.S. Embassy to Italy, and brings together an exciting team of sports and education partners: Associazione Italo Americana FVG / American Corner Trieste, Futurosa, I Muli, Junior Alpina, College Life Italia, Pickleball Trieste, Volley Club Trieste and EducationUSA.

Together, we are creating opportunities for teens and university students to discover American sports, get active, meet local teams and explore opportunities to study in the United States.
