Rome is set to solidify its status as the Caput Mundi of skateboarding with the World Cup Rome 2025, the latest stop on the prestigious World Skateboarding Tour (WST). Featuring both Olympic skateboarding disciplines—Street and Park—this highly anticipated event marks the tour’s fifth consecutive year in the Eternal City, bringing together elite talent from across the globe.
The competition kicks off June 1-8 in Ostia Lido di Roma, where the renowned bowl will host the Park event. Fans will rally behind Italian Olympian Alessandro Mazzara as he takes on top-tier competition. From June 8-15, the spotlight moves to Parco Colle Oppio, where world-class street skateboarders will perform gravity-defying tricks against the iconic backdrop of the Colosseum, a spectacle broadcast live worldwide.
With 365 athletes from 51 countries vying for victory, the event promises electrifying performances and critical World Skateboarding Ranking (WSR) points. This year’s combined prize purse of $400,000 will be equally split between divisions and disciplines.
Beyond competition, Rome’s burgeoning skate scene showcases its transformation into a global hub. The world-class facilities at Parco Colle Oppio and The Spot in Ostia have nurtured a vibrant international skateboarding community, fostering connections between local and visiting pros.
Rome’s skateboarding evolution extends beyond the ramps, serving as a catalyst for urban renewal. Once-neglected spaces have been revitalized into thriving community hubs, demonstrating skateboarding’s ability to inspire cultural and social change.
As one of the world’s oldest cities welcomes one of its youngest Olympic sports, Rome blends heritage with innovation, embracing open-air skateboarding in place of traditional stadium settings. This dynamic fusion has resonated globally, further boosting skateboarding’s meteoric rise in mainstream culture.
The World Cup Rome 2025 is more than a competition—it’s a celebration of skateboarding’s artistry, inclusivity, and cultural depth. Complementary events such as exhibitions, live music, and collaborations with core skate shops ensure an immersive experience, honoring the sport’s rebellious roots while embracing its bright future.
