[3] Gori recovered from knee surgery in time to be included in the Italian team for the 2011 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup on home sand in Ravenna,[3] but suffered at the tournament with a fever.
[6] At his next World Cup appearance in 2015, he scored his 100th goal for Italy during the semi-final defeat to Tahiti,[7] ending the tournament as its joint second top scorer.
[10] Gori began 2019 by registering his 200th goal for Gli Azzurri[15] in what was his most prolific ever start to a season,[16] during which he overtook Paolo Palmacci to become Italy's all-time top goalscorer.
[12] After the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on sport, Gori made scathing criticisms of the lack of support for beach soccer from the Italian Football Federation.
[22] Gori's final match of the 2022 season was marred by him receiving a red card after just four minutes of the EBSL encounter versus Spain.
[23] He then suffered a "serious"[2][24] cruciate injury[25] and did not return to fitness until July 2023;[26][27] his recovery was described as being "slow" by October,[25] and he was subsequently left out of Italy's 18-man shortlist for the 2024 World Cup.
[28] Domestically, Gori began playing for Viareggio in 2010,[1] appearing alongside childhood friends and fellow national team players Andrea Carpita, Dario Ramacciotti, Simone Marinai, Matteo Marrucci and Michele di Palma.
[3][29] His personal highlight came in the 2016 season when the team won the treble of the Euro Winners Cup (EWC), Coppa Italia and the Italian League;[3] in 2018, he overtook Paolo Palmacci to become the all-time leading goalscorer of the latter, with over 300.
[39] He has also had brief stints at the EWC and other international club events for the likes of Braga of Portugal, Artur Music of Ukraine, Boca Gdańsk of Poland and FC City of Russia.
