UniCredit, naming partner of the Youth America’s Cup, unfolds the sails with the Route to Barcelona project: 14 young people under 25 will fly to Barcelona to attend the UniCredit Youth America’s Cup regattas, which are part of the prestigious America’s Cup to be held in Spain this summer.
Through seven spectacular regattas organized by 7 Italian sailing clubs, the 14 best performers – sailors between 16 and 25 years old – will fly to Barcelona for an unforgettable weekend.

They will breathe the wind of the UniCredit Youth America's Cup, one of the most coveted international sailing competitions, together with the best young sailors in the world and their boats.
Excellence, passion, commitment, but also environmental sustainability and love for the marine ecosystem: these values, shared by the Youth America's Cup and UniCredit, have inspired Route to Barcelona.
Remo Taricani, Deputy Head of Italy di UniCredit, commented:
"This project is born with the aim of bringing young people closer to sailing and, more generally, to sport as a universal language. As a matter of fact, Route to Barcelona is an initiative of great social and educational value, which reinforce our role as naming partner of the Youth America's Cup. Our Bank has always supported young people and communities, promoting the values of inclusion and sport, fundamental in a society that wants to be increasingly fair and inclusive".
