The EuroGames Lyon 2025, Europe’s largest inclusive sports festival, benefits from the strong support of the French government and the Ministry of Sports, through the Interministerial Delegation for Major Sporting Events (DIGES). This commitment reflects the State’s dedication to promoting sports accessible to all, without discrimination, in alignment with the values of inclusion and equality.

Thanks to DIGES’ support, the EuroGames are fully integrated into France’s national strategy for major sporting events, maximizing their impact in terms of territorial development, accessibility, and long-term social legacy. This partnership helps secure essential funding, ensuring adequate infrastructure, optimized reception and security measures, and enhanced logistical support for the thousands of athletes and visitors expected.

Beyond financial support, the government’s involvement translates into effective institutional coordination, facilitating exchanges between various stakeholders (local authorities, federations, sports clubs, and associations). This engagement also enables the implementation of structural initiatives, such as volunteer training, awareness campaigns against discrimination, and the development of more inclusive sports practices over the long term.

The French government’s commitment to the EuroGames Lyon 2025 demonstrates a strong ambition: to make sports a driver of diversity, inclusivity, and social cohesion, while ensuring a lasting impact on local clubs and communities.
