The Italian brand internationally recognized for its technical apparel dedicated to clay shooting, Castellani, has become an official Bronze Sponsor of the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF).
The agreement strengthens a long-standing connection between Castellani and the international shooting community, built through decades of collaboration with athletes, federations and major competitions around the world.
Founded in Italy, Castellani has become one of the leading brands in technical apparel for clay shooting athletes. Since the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, shooters wearing Castellani equipment have won 45 Olympic medals, reflecting the company’s commitment to innovation, craftsmanship and performance in the sport.
The ISSF, founded in 1907, is the world governing body for the sport of shooting and is responsible for overseeing international competitions in Rifle, Pistol and Shotgun disciplines, including the Olympic Games. With more than 160 Member Federations across five continents, the ISSF works to develop and promote shooting sport globally while ensuring the highest standards of fairness, safety and sporting excellence.
ISSF President Luciano Rossi welcomed the partnership:
“We are pleased to welcome Castellani as an ISSF Bronze Sponsor. The brand has a long and respected history within the shooting community and has supported athletes for many years through high-quality technical equipment. Partnerships such as this are important for the continued growth and promotion of our sport, and we look forward to working together to support shooting sport worldwide.”
Andrea Fava, CEO of Castellani, commented:
“For Castellani this partnership represents, symbolically, the closing of a circle. Over the years we have worked alongside athletes and the international shooting community with a constant focus on innovation in the world of shooting. Becoming an ISSF Bronze Sponsor strengthens this shared vision and reinforces our commitment to the future of the sport.
Our journey is built on respect, quality and excellence. These values have guided Castellani from the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games through to the most recent Paris 2024 Games, where athletes wearing Castellani equipment continued to reach the Olympic podium.
This moment also carries a deeper meaning for our company and for me personally. Following the passing of Maurizio Castellani in 2025, founder of the company and my uncle, this partnership represents a symbol of resilience and continuity. His vision and passion for the sport continue to inspire our work every day and guide the future of the brand.”
Through this partnership with the ISSF, Castellani confirms its commitment to supporting the global development of shooting sports and continuing its tradition of technical innovation for athletes worldwide.
