Welcome to the directory of sports specialists.

The European Gay & Lesbian Sport Federation is always striving to improve the experience of participants who enter the EuroGames. As part of this strategy we have gathered the finest sports men and women who have generously offered their time and expertsees to help the organising club or committee of the next EuroGames.

The EuroGames give organising committees the opportunity to ”Come alive” and showcase their activities or sporting events in the community. Sporting events are an important part of our community life and it is a rewarding experience to contribute to a successful EuroGames.

Organising such a large multisport event can be a daunting task but with the help of our experts we hope that the next EuroGames is planned, prepared and implemented to the highest standard.

All the men and women here have a wealth
