  "account": "America’s Cup is approaching its fixed date for pre-regatta on September 24th in Naples, and the organizational machine is accelerating. The same supreme body will now meet more frequently, at least once a month. Progress on work is proceeding according to schedule: this was the main message from the Venue Board meeting in Naples' Prefecture. American Racing Challenger Team USA has arrived in Nisida, in anticipation of the first preliminary race: all teams are present except the Australian, who will only take part in the tournament in 2027. The board included three government members (including Napoli's Mayor Michele di Bari), Sport and Health CEO Diego Nepi Molineris, and Napoli Mayor Gaetano Manfredi. Also present was Marzio Perrelli, CEO of America’s Cup Partnership, the joint governance structure for the management of the velica competition, and law enforcement representatives. \"We are perfectly on time with respect to the scheduled schedule\" said Napoli Mayor. \"The Nisida base is fully operational. We think we will close by early October everything needed for the operation of the Bagnoli base. So, we hope to see the first AC75s in the waters of Naples by October.\" Marzio Perrelli confirmed, CEO of America’s Cup Partnership: \"What was written in black and white is happening. Times are respected, the teams are very happy with the city both in terms of infrastructure and hospitality. Not bad if we are to have 3,000 people at full capacity.\" Manfredi explained that the marina will feature an elevated platform allowing for better viewing of the race scenario. They plan to use the pre-regatta as a major test, as it will allow them to see what works and what doesn't. They also plan to expand observation points, including extending the promenade to Posillipo for widespread accessibility. Entry will be free, even for the village and services, but access will be limited due to security concerns. \"Between Nisida and Bagnoli\" said Sport and Health CEO Diego Nepi Molineris, \"we are building a second chance for both.\" When asked about the possibility of awarding Naples the 2029 America’s Cup, he responded, \"Naples must demonstrate on the field why it is the ideal venue for the future of the America’s Cup: there are complex, international scenarios, there are other proposals, but what matters is what we do, which is what we put in the field.\" Meanwhile, Frecciarossa, Trenitalia's brand (Gruppo FS), announced it will be the official sponsor of Luna Rossa, the Italian sailing team at the center of America’s Cup history. The partnership was announced at the National Railway Museum of Pietrarsa, attended by Luna Rossa CEO Max Sirena, Trenitalia's Deputy General Director of Corporate Affairs Giuseppe Inchingolo, and Trenitalia's Marketing and Revenue Management Director Mario Alovisi.",
