What A.SD Macron Warriors Sabbioneta does

A.S.D Macron Warriors Sabbioneta (legal name: A.S.D. WARRIORS VIADANA) is an Italian amateur sports association founded in 2014 by Fabio Merlino as a tribute to his father Filippo Merlino. Headquartered in Viadana, Mantova Province, with the playing field at Palazzetto dello Sport di Sabbioneta, the organization promotes Paralympic sport for people with motor disabilities. It operates two competitive teams: a PowerChair Hockey (PCH) squad competing in Serie A1, the top tier of the Italian federation (FIPPS), and a PowerChair Football (PCF) squad competing in Serie A. The club is the first and only PowerChair sport team in Mantua province, and its competitive results include the 2015-2016 Serie A2 PCH title, the 2023-2024 Italian Championship in Serie A1 PCH, the 2024 Pilsen Powerchair Open international tournament, and the 2026 Supercoppa Italiana di PowerChair Hockey (12-7 over Black Lions Venezia).

The organization is structured as a non-profit amateur sports association (Associazione Sportiva Dilettantistica) with 11–50 personnel across coaching, mechanics, medical, communications, marketing, and safeguarding functions. Revenue is generated through three streams: corporate sponsorships (title sponsor Macron, main sponsors Pomì/Casalasco and UnoMedia, plus several partner sponsors), merchandise sales via a WooCommerce-based online shop (branded apparel priced €20–€75 and accessories), and donations including the Italian 5x1000 tax designation. The club runs an event-driven go-to-market anchored on tournament participation, national team representation (four athletes called up to the Italian National PCH team), media appearances including national television (Rai Due), and local press coverage through the UnoMedia network. Operations are confined to Lombardy, Italy, with no disclosed external investment or parent company.

Broad incumbents

• Polha Varese: One of Italy's most established wheelchair sports clubs, based in Varese, primarily known for wheelchair basketball. Comparable as an Italian adaptive sports club operating in the same disability sports ecosystem with a longer competitive history.
• Special Olympics Italia: Italian branch of Special Olympics, a major disability sports organization in Italy. Comparable as an adaptive sports organization serving athletes with disabilities across multiple sports, though broader in scope and federally recognized.

Direct peers

• Magic Torino: Turin-based PowerChair Hockey club in Serie A1 PCH. Direct Serie A1 competitor (lost 3-18 to the Warriors in February 2026), operating under the same FIPPS federation in the same flagship sport.
• Albalonga: Italian PowerChair Football club that played against the Warriors in Serie A PCF. Direct competitor in the same adaptive sport and Italian federation structure.
• Thunder Roma: Rome-based PowerChair Football (PCF) team. Direct competitor in the same sport (PCF) and Italy's top tier — and former club of star signing Gabriel Mindru, who joined the Warriors in June 2026.
• Skorpions Varese: Varese-based PowerChair Hockey club in Serie A1 PCH. Defeated 21-4 by the Warriors in January 2026, sharing the same federation, league, and adaptive sport focus.
• Black Lions Venezia: PowerChair Hockey club competing in Serie A1 PCH. Direct competitor that the Warriors defeated in the 2026 Supercoppa Italiana (12-7), and former home of multiple newly signed Warriors athletes (Tognin, Ramina). Operates the same league, sport, and federation structure.
• Madracs Udine: Udine-based PowerChair Hockey club that competes in Serie A1 PCH. Direct league competitor that lost 0-32 to the Warriors in January 2026, with identical operating structure (Italian federation, same sport, same league tier).

Others

• Comitato Italiano Paralimpico (CIP): Italian Paralympic Committee that governs and promotes Paralympic sports in Italy. Comparable as part of the same disability sports ecosystem that the Warriors operate within, though CIP is a governing and policy body rather than a competing club.
