The 2025 edition of the European Youth and Sport Platform marked the official launch of the European Youth & Sport Network. Developed within the framework of the EUYOUSPORT project and in alignment with the European Union Youth Strategy (2019-2027) and the EU Work Plan for Sport (2024-2027), focused on youth participation in sport governance, this new network aims to bridge the gap in youth representation in sport decision-making processes. Its mission is to foster collaboration, facilitate knowledge exchange, create new opportunities for young people in sport, and advocate for more inclusive sport governance across Europe.  

The European Youth & Sport Network is currently composed of ENGSO Youth, German Sports Youth (dsj), EUSA, Finnish Olympic Committee, Portuguese Sports Confederation, OPES (Organizzazione per l’educazione allo sport) and Cyprus Youth Council (CYC), and is open to all youth and sport organisations that would like to cooperate on fostering youth participation in sport. Interested organisations can obtain more information on the Network, including how to join, by sending an email to ENGSO Youth Managing Director, Tiago Guilherme ([email protected]).
