European Youth Olympic Festival

European Youth Olympic Festival is a part of the European Olympic Committee and EOC has exclusive rights to the event. EYOF is the first top European multi-sport event aimed at young athletes aged 14 to 18. There is a winter and a summer edition, which take place in two-year cycles, in odd-numbered years. EYOF is held under the patronage of the IOC.

Approximately 3,600 young people and their officials take part in the summer festivals, while there are around 1,600 participants at the winter editions.

The event takes place under the Olympic flag and is rich with Olympic traditions: from the burning flame to athletes’ and officials’ oaths. The EYOF is a gateway to the Olympic Games, with many medallists having gone on to win medals at an Olympic Games. It is at the EYOF that many of Europe’s inspiring sports stars of tomorrow take their first steps on the international stage. And while some may enjoy EYOF as a stepping-stone to Olympic greatness, all who participate take home friendships and experiences to last a lifetime.

EYOF gives top young athletes a first taste of what an Olympic event is like, at the same time encouraging more youngsters to practise sport and lead a healthy lifestyle.
