European Week of Sport 2019

Taking place every year from 23 - 30 September, the Week allows millions of people to collaborate on builder better, healthier lifestyles for citizens across the world.

The aim of the game is to #BeActive during the European Week of Sport but also to stay active throughout the year.

For five years, the European Week of Sport has helped tackle the inactivity crisis by encouraging Europeans to embrace a healthy and active lifestyle.

Launched in 2015, the European Week of Sport was created in response to the worsening inactivity crisis. Despite sport and physical activity substantially contributing to the wellbeing of European citizens, the level of physical activity is currently stagnating and even declining in some countries.

The Week has continued to grow year after year, encouraging ever more Europeans to embrace a healthy and active lifestyle. From five million participants and 7,000 events in 2015, the 2018 edition drew in a staggering 12 million participants across 48,500 events.

We’re hoping to break that record this year as we enter the 5th anniversary of the European Week of Sport!
