With over 30 sports represented and thousands of participants expected, the EuroGames continue to be one of Europe’s largest LGBTQ+ sporting events. Beyond the competitions, the Games also feature cultural events, workshops, and community spaces like the Pride House, fostering dialogue and connection.
