From athletics tracks to equipment, including padel courts, sports flooring for arenas, rugby, baseball, and basketball: discover how Mondo technologies will contribute to one of the most important multi-sport events in the Mediterranean.

For the XX Mediterranean Games Taranto 2026, Mondo is contributing to the construction and renovation of numerous sports facilities for competitions and training for athletes from 26 Mediterranean countries. The total supplies exceed 40,000 m² of sports flooring and include athletics tracks, multi-purpose gym surfaces, synthetic turf courts, basketball and padel courts, as well as grandstand systems for welcoming spectators.

Athletics Tracks

For over forty years, Mondo has contributed to the evolution of global athletics through research, innovation, and collaboration with leading international federations. Mondo tracks have hosted the world's most prestigious sporting events and have been the stage for over 300 world records, becoming a benchmark for performance, reliability, and safety. The track chosen for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games represents the latest evolution in this direction. For the Taranto 2026 Mediterranean Games, Mondo technologies will be present in both the competition venues and the facilities dedicated to athlete training.

New prefabricated athletics tracks

  • Grottaglie athletics track and the Pala Ricciardi multipurpose center (Taranto) have chosen Sportflex® Super X 720 surface. Pala Ricciardi also features a Modultrack system, a modular, raised solution that combines precision engineering, high performance, and versatility, adapting to the needs of training, competition, and the facility's multifunctional use.
  • The athletics track at Campo Scuola Salinella (Taranto) has chosen Mondotrack®

Refurbishment of existing tracks

  • Statte athletics track has been refurbished with Sportflex® Super X

Not all refurbishments require complete reconstruction of a track. With Sportflex® Super X Overlay Solution, Mondo renews the performance of existing surfaces through a non-invasive intervention that improves safety, biomechanical response, and durability. Unlike traditional surface retopping, the solution features a performance layer of at least 8 mm, designed to ensure consistent performance over time, greater wear resistance, and a reduction in microplastic dispersion.

Indoor Sports Flooring

From international competitions to school and multipurpose facilities, Mondo indoor sports flooring is designed to meet the needs of various disciplines, ensuring comfort, safety, and durability. Thanks to a wide range of multi-sport solutions, the company contributes to the creation of spaces capable of hosting competitive activities, training, and multifunctional uses.

  • The Fasano and San Giorgio Jonico indoor sports halls have chosen Mondoelastic
  • The Avetrana indoor sports hall has chosen the Vinylsport M range
  • The Palamazzola (Taranto) has chosen the Powerplay II surface
  • The training gyms of the provincial schools in Taranto have chosen Zeta System

Synthetic Turf

With over twenty years of experience developing synthetic turf systems for soccer and rugby, Mondo controls the entire production process in-house, from fiber design to finished product manufacturing. This integrated supply chain allows for the development of surfaces that combine athletic performance, durability, and sustainability. For Taranto 2026, this experience is being applied to a facility designed to host strategic sports such as rugby and baseball.

  • Paolo VI Rugby and Baseball Field (Taranto) – has chosen Jupiter turf system

Padel courts

Padel is one of the fastest-growing sports globally, and Mondo supports this evolution with surfaces specifically designed for the discipline's needs. The presence of Premier Supercourt® X3 surfaces at the Mediterranean Games takes on special significance: for the first time, padel is included in the event's official program, confirming the sport's growing international recognition and its increasingly stable presence at major multi-sport events.

  • Salinella Urban Park (Taranto): 4 Premier Supercourt® X3 padel courts

Basketball flooring and equipment

From urban playgrounds to spaces dedicated to sporting events, Mondo outdoor solutions are designed to offer quality play, safety, and weather resistance. Surfaces and equipment help create accessible and durable spaces, encouraging sports and social gatherings.

  • Peripato Gardens (Taranto) chose Tilesport and two Full Rules PK 208 basketball hoops for the Street Basketball area.

Telescopic Grandstands

Mondo's experience in designing sports facilities also extends to spectator seating solutions. Telescopic grandstands optimize space and ensure maximum management flexibility, adapting to the diverse needs of sporting events and multipurpose facilities.

  • The Fasano Sports Hall has chosen a 2,000-seat telescopic grandstand designed by Mondo.

A legacy that looks to the future

From athletics tracks to indoor flooring, from synthetic grass to padel courts, up to solutions for basketball and welcoming the public, Mondo supplies will contribute to the holding of one of the most important sporting events in the Mediterranean. At the end of the event, the built and redeveloped facilities will continue to serve athletes, sports clubs, schools and local communities, leaving a concrete legacy of modern, high-performance and long-lasting infrastructure.

The Taranto 2026 Mediterranean Games thus represent not only an international showcase for sport, but also a development opportunity for the territory, to which Mondo contributes by making its experience available in the creation of sports flooring and equipment for the most important world events.
