Adoption of New EU Work Plan for Sport (2024 -2027)
On Tuesday 14 May 2024, the Council of Sport Ministers approved a resolution on the new EU Work Plan for Sport.
This 5th EU Work Plan for Sport will apply from 1 July 2024 until 31 December 2027, setting out priorities and strategic objectives for sport across the European Union.
The new EU Work Plan for Sport builds on the successes and the lessons learnt from the previous one. It also introduces new elements to adapt the evolving challenges in the sport sector, such as increasing commercialisation in sport, sustainability, and the link between physical and mental health.
It focuses on 3 main priorities
- integrity and values in sport
- socio-economic and sustainable dimensions of sport
- participation in sport and health-enhancing physical activity
In a context of increasing cooperation and governance, the new EU Work Plan invites the Member States, the Presidencies of the Council, the European Commission and the sports movement to take part in its implementation and to work together to strengthen the EU sport policy and promote the European dimension of sport.
