Mangia’s strengthens its partnership with Waterpolo Palermo for the 2026/27 season

Mangia’s Hotels & Resorts and Waterpolo Palermo are continuing the journey they have built together, strengthening their partnership for the 2026/27 season. 

The new agreement marks another step forward in their collaboration, with Mangia’s confirming its support for the Palermo-based sporting project through an even stronger commitment as Premium Partner of Waterpolo Palermo. 

The partnership will support the club’s activities throughout the season, from the first team, competing in the FIN Men’s Serie A2 National Championship – Southern Group, to the youth water polo and swimming programmes and masters swimming activities. 

At the heart of the project is a shared commitment to developing sport, supporting younger generations and promoting the local community. 

Sport and hospitality, united by Sicily 

Mangia’s and Waterpolo Palermo share a strong connection with Sicily and a commitment to contributing to the communities in which they operate. 

Supporting Waterpolo Palermo is part of this commitment and reflects the Group’s desire to stand alongside initiatives capable of creating value for local communities and future generations. 

“We are proud to renew and strengthen our partnership with Waterpolo Palermo, an organisation with which we share a deep connection with Sicily and a strong focus on younger generations. We believe in the value of sport as a means of growth, participation and belonging, and we are delighted to continue supporting a project that contributes to enhancing our local area. Becoming a Premium Partner is the natural evolution of a journey we have built together over time and one that we want to continue developing together.” 
Marcello Mangia, President and CEO of Mangia’s 

A project that continues to grow 

Waterpolo Palermo is a Palermo-based sports organisation committed to promoting and developing water polo and swimming, from its first team to its youth programmes. 

The club enters the 2026/27 season with the aim of continuing its sporting and organisational growth while further strengthening its relationship with the local community and with the companies that choose to support its project. 

“The renewal of our partnership with Mangia’s is particularly meaningful to us because it is rooted in a relationship built over the years and in a level of trust that continues to grow. Mangia’s decision to increase its commitment this season sends an important message of support for the project we are developing. We are delighted to continue this journey with a company that has such strong ties to our region and shares our focus on the local community and younger generations.” 
Antonio Coglitore, President of Waterpolo Palermo 

A partnership that goes beyond sponsorship 

Throughout the season, the collaboration may also take shape through joint initiatives and dedicated opportunities to promote the partnership, involving Waterpolo Palermo athletes and Mangia’s properties. 

The aim is to take the partnership beyond traditional sports sponsorship, creating new opportunities to tell the story of the connection between sport, hospitality and Sicily.
