HOSTING THE EUROPEAN GAMES

The selection process to host the European Games involves a meticulous procedure supervised by the European Olympic Committees (EOC). After the conclusion of the 2019 edition in Minsk, the EOC held an Extraordinary General Assembly where member nations collectively decided on the next host city. For the third edition in 2023, Kraków and the Małopolska region in Poland were unanimously chosen. For the fourth edition of the European Games in 2027, Istanbul has been confirmed as the host city.
