Till now, the European Championships ECM event seemed to be more warmly embraced - it was certainly cheaper! - yet here's Istanbul and EOC, in place,with a full three and a half years to prepare, while the Championships are already denuded of athletics or aquatics (those 2026 events having already been handed out) and absolutely no sign of a host or a plan for the 2026 event... With the Commonwealths also looking doomed and the Francaphone on a shoogily peg, seems the 'West' just can't keep an event going... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Federer91 2,201 Posted March 30 #4 Share Posted March 30 I read that Istanbul has been chosen as the host for the 2027 European Games with the ambition as a testing ground for the 2036 Olympic Games. Biathlonfan and Pasolini 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Istanbul was announced as the likely host a month or so ago, and it was confirmed last week - I think their 2026 ambition is 'unlikely' but it would very likely have a good shot thereafter. Clever of the EOC to lean into Istanbul's Olympic ambitions, but they need to pull it off now - Poland did an exceptionally good job in very difficult circumstances, but a 'bad' Games can really derail Olympic ambitions - see Delhi CWG 2010.

Federer91 2,201 Posted 22 hours ago #6 Share Posted 22 hours ago A person of the European Olympic Committee has mentioned, that the plan is for the 2027 European Games to play a big role for LA 28 quotas. It will most likely be held again in June and they are working on bringing back lots of sports. Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
