Europe Day: 9th May 2026

Europe Day, celebrated annually on 9 May, marks the anniversary of the Schuman Declaration of 1950 and the foundations of European cooperation. This year, we also celebrate the power of sport and its role within the EU in fostering cooperation, solidarity, and mutual understanding across Member States and organisations. It is an opportunity to reflect on the initiatives and projects that help strengthen the role of sport within our societies and engage in dialogue to shape the future of European Sport.
