The Working Party on Sport discussed the EU Work Plan for Sport and the Council Conclusions

On 15 February, the Council of the EU's Working Party on Sport gathered to discuss the drafts of the 2024-2027 EU Work Plan for Sport and the Council Conclusions on “non-organised sport and free physical activity”. Objectives of the Working Party on Sport align with the Belgian Presidency's priorities which put forward the role of non-organized sport and free physical activity within the European Sport Model. Yet, the draft appears to have some difficulties clearly defining non-organised sport and underestimates the societal contributions and efforts of sport clubs.  A new draft is expected to be presented at the next meeting held on 8 March.
