The EU Sport Forum 2024 was organised in Liège (Belgium) on 16-17 of April 2024 by the European Commission (DGEAC), Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture. It gathered over 350 participants from various organisations such as sport federations, sport clubs, National Olympic Committees, sport for all organisations, NGOs, EU Institutions and Member States, as well as some athletes.
The annual Forum always gives the opportunity for sport stakeholders to meet and exchange views on latest developments and future sport policies. This year, through a series of panels, parallel sessions, testimonials and key note speakers, the event looked into the link between two significant sport events (Paris 2024 and UEFA EURO 2024) and EU and Olympic values, and made a focus on the topics of integrity, sustainability and gender equality. Moreover, the programme also featured discussions on the new perspectives for European football, athletes’ rights, the challenges to sport in the digital age and the promotion of lifelong participation in sport.
EOSE was represented by its Executive Director, Aurélien Favre, and one of its Board Members, Mark Cutajar from Sport Malta. The event provided a unique opportunity for networking, fostering potential collaborations and exchanging on main realities and the future of sport in Europe.
