Matteo Chiantore Mayor of Ivrea Dear participants, honored guests, and fellow water enthusiasts, it is with great pleasure that I extend a warm welcome to each of you to the beautiful city of Ivrea, where the currents of camaraderie and the waves of sportsmanship converge.
As the Mayor of this city, I am thrilled to will host here the 2024 ICF Canoe Slalom World Cup next September.
This event not only celebrates the spirit of competition but also serves as a testament to the universal language of sport that transcends borders and unites people from diverse corners of the globe.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the organizers, sponsors, and volunteers who work tirelessly to make this event a reality.
Our city, crossed by the Dora Baltea River, which is the fulcrum of our Canoe Park, is the perfect backdrop for this prestigious occasion. We take pride in providing a venue with a long tradition in this sport: in the 1950s canoeing began its solid development in Ivrea. The first canoeing race took place here in 1956, and many followed since then. To our next visitors, I invite you to take the time to explore Ivrea: a city founded in 100 BC by the Romans and continuously inhabited ever since, inserted in a perfect geographical context for the outdoors and assigned as “Industrial City of the 20th century” by Unesco in 2018.
May this event create lasting memories and friendships that will endure long after the last paddle has dipped into the water. Wishing everyone a thrilling and memorable 2024 ICF Canoe Slalom World Cup in Ivrea!

Warm regards,
Matteo Chiantore

Mayor of Ivrea
