ZCORE International

After months of planning, countless hours of work, and a weekend in Napoli that brought so many people together, we’re incredibly proud to share the donations made possible through Z26. Thanks to your support, we’ve been able to contribute to three organisations whose work means so much to us: Pride Vesuvio, Insuperabili, and The Circle. Each of them works towards something we believe in deeply: a world where people feel safe, included, supported, and given the opportunity to thrive. We’ve included a breakdown of the donations in this carousel because transparency matters to us, just as much as the causes we’re supporting. Thank you for trusting us, for showing up, and for helping turn months of work into something that can make a difference. All donation amounts reflect funds after GoFundMe transaction fees. #zcoreinternational #zcore2026 #charity #community

Three days. 80+ people. Countless moments and memories that will last a lifetime. Z26 Napoli, what a weekend! 🇮🇹 From Welcome Night to the football tournament, scavenger hunt, celebrations and livestreams, Naples brought people together from across the world for three unforgettable days. Online friendships became real-life connections, new friendships were formed, and somewhere between the laughter, chaos and very little sleep, we created something special. Through our fundraiser, €3,880.15 was donated in support of three incredible organisations: Pride Vesuvio, The Circle NGO and Insuperabili, supporting LGBTQIA+ rights, women’s equality and inclusion through football. Behind those three days were months of planning, fundraising, organising and countless hours of hard work, all with the goal of bringing people together while making a positive social impact. A huge thank you to The Echo, our main sponsor, and to all our other sponsors. And to everyone who contributed to the fundraiser, volunteered, travelled, participated, watched our streams or supported Z26 in any way, thank you for being part of it. 80+ people brought together. Three incredible causes supported. Countless memories made. We came together for football, friendship and connection, and left with something that will stay with us long after the weekend ended. Napoli, grazie di tutto. 💛 #ZCOREInternational #Z26 #Community #FootballForGood

It’s been brought to our attention our previous post wasn’t clear. This was not a ZCORE group. It did not have ZCORE members (just the one volunteer in question). ZCORE was not involved in this directly. Our volunteer did it and we take responsibility for that, as we take it seriously. But it was a private group of friends. We had no involvement and did not know. I hope that helps clear that up. We are sorry for all the unkind words said toward everyone and we will continue to work for the values we believe in and to bring good.

We are disappointed that a private matter we were discussing in good faith has now been presented publicly without the full context of those conversations. First and foremost, we apologise to the person subjected to the comments shown and for the hurt caused. What was said was unacceptable, and we are genuinely sorry that someone who supported ZCORE was spoken about in that way by an individual involved with our organisation. ZCORE does not condone these comments. They do not reflect our values or what we have worked to create. Until this was brought to our attention yesterday, the rest of the ZCORE team had no knowledge of this private group or the comments being made within it. This was not a ZCORE group, these conversations did not take place on ZCORE platforms or on behalf of ZCORE. We cannot reasonably know everything an individual says or does privately outside ZCORE. When Rachele contacted us, we did not dismiss what she raised or shy away from responsibility. We listened, apologised for the hurt caused, took the concerns seriously and said we would address the matter appropriately. We were actively discussing this directly in an attempt to resolve it when this post was published, without warning to us. That context matters. The actions of one individual should not be presented as representative of an entire team who had no knowledge of, or involvement in, those conversations. We also want to address the suggestion that ZCORE becoming an independent project was something only clarified privately. Our position regarding affiliation with Zeudi has not been hidden. From the moment our website went live, ZCORE was described as an independent, community-led, not-for-profit organisation. This was publicly available. Our FAQ clearly states that ZCORE is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to Zeudi Di Palma, her management or associated organisations. ZCORE FAQ: zcoreinternational.com/faq/ When asked about affiliation, whether on Twitch, online or in person in Naples, we have answered openly and consistently. ZCORE grew from connections initially made online, and we will always recognise that history. But ZCORE has developed into something broader: creating opportunities for people to connect, build friendships and generate positive social impact. That has never required anyone to stop supporting Zeudi or anything else they care about. Over the past year, we have worked hard to create spaces centred on connection, friendship and social impact. People have spent months playing games, watching shows, talking and building friendships across countries. In Naples, those connections moved beyond the screen. People came together across three days, friendships became real-world connections, memories were created and money was raised for charitable causes. That happened. It matters. And the behaviour of one individual does not erase the work, intentions or experiences of everyone else involved. We are not above criticism. When something is brought to us that conflicts with our values, we will listen, reflect and act accordingly. That is exactly what we were already doing here. But we also do not condone private information being circulated in a way that implicates an entire group who neither knew about nor participated in those conversations, particularly while we were actively engaging privately to resolve the situation. We are not the enemy. We do not want further division, hostility or online conflict. We want to do good, and we believe our actions over the past year demonstrate that. We will continue to focus on what ZCORE exists to do: bringing people together, creating genuine human connection and using that connection to make a positive social impact. We will address matters that conflict with those values responsibly, but the actions of one individual cannot and should not define the other members of ZCORE or everything we have built together.

Red team ❤️

A little extra love for our main sponsor, The Echo. ✨ Thank you for believing in ZCORE and helping us bring this edition to life. And a very special thank you to Trish, founder of The Echo, who flew all the way from the States to join us in Napoli. Having you there meant a lot, but getting to experience the full Sirens cheering energy in person was something else. You brought the noise, the chants, and a little bit of New York to Napoli with you, and we loved every second of it. What started as support from across the ocean turned into having The Echo right there with us for ZCORE 2026, and we couldn’t have asked for better. If you haven’t met The Echo yet, go check out their website to learn more about what they’re building around the New York Sirens, and give them a follow on Instagram (@theechosirens) to keep up with everything they have coming. From Napoli to New York, thank you, The Echo. Wee Woo. #zcore2026

ZCORE 2026. That’s a wrap. ❤️ Three days that went by in a second, after months of work behind the scenes. To every player, volunteer, partner, supporter, friend, and every single person who showed up and became part of this weekend: thank you. Thank you for the energy, the noise, the laughs, the games, the late nights, the conversations, and all the little moments in between that made these three days what they were. ZCORE has always been about bringing people together. Different places, different stories, different reasons for being here, but for one weekend, all part of the same thing. And once again, Napoli gave us memories we’ll carry long after this weekend is over. To everyone who played a part in ZCORE 2026, big or small, this one belongs to all of us. More memories. More impact. Same heart. New core. Until next time. ❤️ ZCORE International 2026 #ZCORE2026
