The EU Sport Forum 2026, taking place on April 15–16 in Paphos, Cyprus, centers on the future of the European Sport Model with a heavy emphasis on integrity and investment to protect against closed, breakaway competitions. Key sessions will tackle the growing mental health crisis in elite sport, alongside strategies for lifelong wellbeing to combat physical inactivity in the aging 55+ population. Additionally, the forum will prioritize solidarity and gender equality, featuring keynote addresses from European Commissioner Glenn Micallef and insights from the Irish Presidency on the upcoming EU sport priorities.
