The Swatt Club, as we now know, is a reality made to live with intensity, heart and without filters every type of challenge and it is thus, without ever putting a brake on emotions and imagination, that in recent years it has managed first to make a successful appearance and then to carve out for itself in an absolutely deserved way an increasingly relevant space in high-level cycling.

This approach has led Carlo Beretta's team to compete in 2026 with the Continental team patch on their kit, a status that has allowed them to further increase the level of their calendar by putting their athletes in front of even more solid and prestigious opponents. The comparison, as was foreseeable, was experienced without any reverence and this allowed the small Italian team (with a strong Danish branch) to immediately achieve satisfactions of great magnitude (4 victories and 3 podiums all outside our borders) that not only rewarded the environment for the sacrifices made but also legitimately pushed it to dream even bigger.

And if we talk about dreams, for a representative like Swatt Club the most natural one can only be to take the next step and become a professional team in all respects, an upgrade for which it is not enough to arm oneself with planning, courage and goodwill but also with financial resources of considerable weight.

For this reason, through his LinkedIn profile, the team's number one has officially opened the search for a new sponsor who wants to invest concretely in the project not only with the idea of making a business operation but with the will to fully embrace its philosophy, mentality and aspirations by accompanying it by the hand towards a future yet to be written.

These are the words, full of sentiment, chosen by Beretta to announce all of this:

"We are a unique contradiction. We aim for the Moon knowing that then we will miss the moments in parking lots on camping chairs, the endless journeys in vans full of suitcases, eating a pita sitting on the sidewalks of the Grand Hotel Bretagne in the square of Athens as a celebration for a victory in a Professional race.

It would all be very cinematic but sometimes you would also like to keep everything in your mind because they are those things difficult to communicate, because they already carry with them the melancholic wake. We are a very small team, we believe in creativity, we believe in boldness, we believe in people before numbers, we believe that Agonism is the most extreme form of personal growth.

We believe that chasing impossible dreams is the engine of crazy actions. Like winning in the courtyard of the Greek Gods, in Athens, where Plato dispensed life lessons. We are a contradiction because when we arrived at the port of Igoumenitsa we see the buses of the Giro d'Italia teams and inside us we feel small, weak, inferior. Inside us we feel that one day we would like to be there.

If you aim for the Moon from somewhere you might end up there. If you want to aim for the Moon together with us we are ready, because sooner or later we will need help to make a big leap. And the only big leap is to go from a Continental team to a Professional one.

Yes, this is a sponsor search announcement, but not to offer visibility or opportunities. We only offer big dreams".
