Lignano Sabbiadoro is the largest seaside resort in Friuli Venezia Giulia: halfway between Venice and Trieste, 8 km of golden sand and a green pine forest with three distinct souls: Sabbiadoro, Pineta, and Riviera. Fine golden sand overlooking a clean and safe sea for over 8 km—awarded the European Blue Flag since 1990—protected by the beauty and tranquility of the green pine forest: Lignano Sabbiadoro is the ideal destination for an outdoor holiday, to be enjoyed in all its unexpected nuances. Lignano embodies different souls, offering everyone their dream vacation. A place where everything—nature, tranquility, adventure, entertainment, and shopping—is within easy reach.
Athletics
Athletics is universally recognized as the “queen of sports” and, in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, it represents a dynamic, solid, and highly structured reality, involving a wide number of clubs affiliated with FIDAL (Italian Athletics Federation) and distributed across the entire region. Thanks to an efficient network of clubs, qualified coaches, and sports facilities, the discipline consistently promotes both youth development and high-level competitive activity, making a significant contribution to the sporting and social growth of the community. The athletics competitions during EYOF 2027 will take place at the "Teghil" Stadium in Lignano Sabbiadoro, a benchmark facility for major national and international events, featuring modern infrastructure and fully equipped to host high-level competitions.
