A new Italian UCI Continental team is about to take shape, an ambitious project that will be able to count on high-level technical support. The team will be named Caroli Hotels, the historic hotel network of Salento owned by Attilio Caroli and active since 1966, a reference reality with resorts, historic residences and year-round facilities between Gallipoli and Santa Maria di Leuca.

Caroli Hotels' entry into international cycling marks a significant step for the Italian cycling movement: a brand rooted in the territory, with a long tradition of hospitality, that chooses to invest in a structured and quality sports project. The new Continental team will present itself in 2027 with a strong identity and with the objective of growing rapidly in the national and international landscape.

The details of the team, led by general manager Antonio Fermo, will be announced at a later date, when the project will be presented in its final form.
