European School Games

The European School Games (ESG) is a prestigious sporting event designed to bring together young athletes from schools across Europe.

School sport should be for everyone. It should start from the grassroots, giving every student, in every school, the chance to dream, to play, and to shine — no matter their experience or skill level.

That’s why the European School Games were created: to open the doors of international school sport to every student across Europe.

Every school. Every student. No barriers, no limits — just the pure joy of competing, connecting, and celebrating together.

At the European School Games, you're not just playing sports — you're building friendships that cross borders, creating unforgettable memories, and shaping a brighter future.

Come and be part of something bigger. Join thousands of students from all over Europe, experience the excitement of international competition, and show that everyone belongs on the world stage.

The European School Games 2026 isn't just for the athletes— it's a celebration for everyone! We warmly invite family and friends to join us in Poreč, Croatia, from March 22 to 28, 2026, and be part of an unforgettable week of sports, culture, and community.
