EuroGames

The EuroGames are an LGBT multi-sport event in Europe, licensed by the European Gay and Lesbian Sport Federation to a local city host each year and organised (most often) by one or more of the federation's member clubs. Similar to the Gay Games, EuroGames are a sports-for-all event, open for participation irrespective of sex, age, sexual identity or physical ability. It ranges in scale from 1,5 to cca 4 thousand or even more participants, most often with extra Outreach support subsidies for less privileged participants.[1][2]
