European Para Youth Games 2025
Istanbul has been designated by the European Paralympic Committee as the host city for the 2025 European Para Youth Games (EPYG), with Team TOC involved as a delivery partner. The program includes Para archery, boccia, goalball, Para judo, Para swimming, Para taekwondo, and Para table tennis. Istanbul will welcome approximately 1,500 athletes and staff from July 21 to 28.
With our expertise in organizing Paralympic sports events, gained during the European Para Championships and previous parasport events in the Netherlands, we support the European Paralympic Committee and the LOC in realizing a high-quality event for the top athletes of the future!
Raymon Blondel, President of the European Paralympic Committee, said: “It is wonderful to announce the biggest ever number of sports for an EPYG in the wake of the success of the Paris 2024 Paralympics.
“We aim for EPYG participants to develop and push themselves, shoot for the stars, connect and collaborate and have fun. The EPYG’s ethos of ‘Grow, Aspire, Play’ includes everyone from athletes to coaching and support staff, the Local Organising Committee, sports, partners and volunteers.
“Istanbul 2025 is shaping-up to be an exciting competition that will build on the strong foundations of past EPYG and grows the event sustainably."
