EVENTS ZCORE INTERNATIONAL
Z26: The Second Chapter
WHAT IS Z26?
Z26 is ZCORE International’s second event and our biggest yet. Three days in Naples bringing together our global community for connection, competition, and exploration. Building on everything Z25 taught us, this year we are creating a fuller experience — one that gives our community more time together, more moments to bond, and more reasons to stay. More details about exact locations and the full schedule will be revealed as we get closer. Watch this space.
THE PROGRAMME
Day 1 — Opening Night at CIAK Bar 25 SEPTEMBER 2026
Every great weekend starts with a good opening night. Day 1 brings the community together for the first time — a social evening in collaboration with CIAK Bar by Maria Esposito, a place in Naples that has welcomed us since the very beginning and feels like a second home. The night includes icebreakers and community games designed to bring people together, put faces to usernames, and kick off the weekend the right way. No pressure, no agenda — just the community, finally in the same room.
Day 2 — The ZCORE Tournament 26 SEPTEMBER 2026
The heart of Z26. Four ZCORE International community teams go head to head in a football tournament — and if Z25 taught us anything, it’s that this community does not hold back on the pitch. The tournament runs throughout the day, building towards a trophy ceremony and community celebration that closes the night. Whether you’re playing, cheering, or watching from home, Day 2 is the one you won’t want to miss.
Day 3 — Naples City Hunt 27 SEPTEMBER 2026
The final day is for the city. The Naples City Hunt takes teams through the streets of Naples — through games, challenges, and moments of local culture that make this city impossible not to love. It is a day designed to slow down, soak it all in, and share one last set of memories before everyone heads home. Because the hardest part of every ZCORE weekend is always the goodbye.

CHARITIES WE ARE SUPPORTING
Z25: Dare to Dream
WHAT WAS Z25?
Z25 was ZCORE International’s first ever event — a charity football match held in the heart of Scampia, Naples. Zeudiners from across the world came together to play a friendly game against Dream Team Arci Scampia, a girls’ football team aged 11 to 15 from Associazione Dream Team Donne in Rete — an organisation dedicated to helping Neapolitan women and young people build a better future.
The goal was simple: give these girls a once in a lifetime experience, raise funds for causes that matter, and show what this community is capable of when it shows up. Over 150 people filled the stands. 30 countries. 37+ nationalities. One unforgettable day.
THE DAY
The morning began at Associazione Dream Team Donne in Rete, where a group of Zeudiners had the chance to visit the association, learn about their work, and meet Patrizia Palumbo and the people behind it. The association welcomed everyone with open arms, sharing lunch together and making the morning feel less like a visit and more like coming home.
In the afternoon, the match kicked off. The Zeudiners International team — made up of women from 20 nationalities — faced Dream Team Arci Scampia on the pitch in a friendly game full of energy, emotion, and joy.
After the final whistle, every player on both sides was awarded a medal. The Zeudiners International team received the match trophy — but the real highlight was the gift bags handed to every girl on the Dream Team Arci Scampia, filled with sweets and treats from the home countries of the Zeudiners players. A small gesture that meant everything.

THANK YOU
None of this would have been possible without Patrizia Palumbo and the entire Associazione Dream Team Donne in Rete and Dream Team Arci Scampia family. To Pride Vesuvio for believing in us. To Mariarosaria and Carmen for their warmth and generosity. To Zeudi Di Palma for being a source of inspiration that brought this community together. And to every single Zeudiner who donated, showed up, cheered, volunteered or shared. And to the 50 volunteers whose help was absolutely indispensable.
“What began as five people organising a simple gift became a global event. Un.be.lie.va.ble.” — The ZCORE International Team
