Compete Proud, a leading international organization for LGBTIQ+ inclusion in sport, is proud to partner with EuroGames Lyon 2025. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion at all levels of sport, from grassroots participation to the highest levels of competition.

With a team of advocates, Olympians, Paralympians, and sport professionals, Compete Proud brings valuable expertise and a strong network to advance inclusion in sports environments. Through conferences, awareness initiatives, educational tools, accessibility strategies, and athlete empowerment, this collaboration aligns with the transformative actions driven by EuroGames Lyon 2025.

The involvement of two dedicated ambassadors – Nikki Symmons and Matthew Mitcham – reinforces this shared ambition. Their inspiring journeys and continued advocacy contribute to raising visibility and creating more inclusive spaces for LGBTIQ+ individuals in sport.

This partnership is part of a collective effort to make EuroGames Lyon 2025 a truly impactful event, carrying a powerful message: a more inclusive, more accessible, and genuinely welcoming sports culture for all.

We warmly thank Compete Proud for their commitment. Together, we strive to make sport a space where everyone can be themselves, feel proud, and reach their full potential.
