The European Commission has recently adopted a report on the implementation and relevance of the European Union Work Plan for Sport 2021-2024.
This report will assist in the preparation of the upcoming EU Work Plan for Sport for 2024-2027, which EU Member States are currently negotiating under the direction of the Belgian presidency of the Council of the European Union.
The report was informed by a consultation with Member States and other sports sector stakeholders, whose views are included.
The report highlights areas as potentially meriting attention under the next work plan, such as:
- promoting the “European Sport Model”
- shaping value-based sport governance
- upholding high standards of integrity
The continuing engagement with sustainable development, ensuring fair and equal access to sport participation, and upholding values in sport are all expected to be priorities in the new EU Work Plan.
