Ahead of the European Sport Forum, the EOC EU Office was kindly invited for a productive visit to the Cyprus Olympic Committee (COC) on 14 April 2026, reinforcing a shared commitment to advancing sport across Europe. The visit marked an important opportunity for dialogue following the recent appointment of Carlotta Giussani as Director of the EOC EU Office. In a constructive exchange with the President of the COC, Mr. Georgios Chrysostomou, discussions focused on current priorities of the COC, as well as the evolving role of the COC within the European sporting landscape, highlighting unique challenges, EU-level cooperation opportunities, and ways to strengthen future collaboration between both organisations. The programme also included a presentation by the COC staff and a guided tour of the Olympic Hall, showcasing the Olympic Museum and the country’s sporting memorabilia.

The EOC EU Office would like to thank the Cyprus Olympic Committee and their dedicated staff for their warm welcome and shared commitment to advance sport in Europe.
