VOICES OF THE EUROPEAN FEDERATION FOR COMPANY SPORT MEMBERS

“The Bordeaux Games will be fantastic”

“The health issue is becoming crucial, especially in Denmark, where company sport is going very strong. We work closely with the Ministry of culture which we are a part of, so that all sports can be practiced in all companies, whatever their size. Today, we feel that employees seek to do things together, not just the traditional company sport activities but all kinds of new ones, such as what we call them “colleagues exercises” in Denmark, which are practiced directly on the working place instead of going to a nearby sports venue. Moreover, the Bordeaux Coordinators Meeting has been very positive. The facilities are high quality and I especially like the fact that many venues are close to each other, as opposed to being scattered all across the city, which I feared. I think the Games will be fantastic and I look forward to attending the Games next year.”

“The Bordeaux Games will be a landmark event”

“Today, in Germany, we have nearly 220,000 active company practitioners in over 90 different disciplines. Company sport walks on two legs: traditional sports and health-related activities, which are increasingly attracting public interest. Company sport is an excellent alternative to professional sport for most of us who are not in a position to take part in the Olympic Games. In this respect, I think Bordeaux is an ideal place to host the European Games. 8,000 to 10,000 people are expected to participate. Only once in the history of the EFCS did that many people attend the Games, to Berlin in 1993. In this sense too, the Bordeaux Games will truly be a milestone event.”

“Ahead of our participation in the European Games, SC Allianz Hamburg met Thomas Le Lann on October 8^th, 2022, in Bordeaux. Our group, Cordula, Frank, Kerstin and Jörg, had the opportunity to discuss with Thomas in order to prepare the participation of the Allianz athletes to this new edition. We are happy to encourage our athletes and to be able to support their participation next year. We warmly thank the ECSG 2023 organising committee for their hospitality and their friendly communication.”

ALLIANZ 🇩🇪

Thomas Le Lann, general coordinator of the 2023 European Company Sport Games, could answer various questions from the Allianz group: accommodation, transport, catering, sports program and more. The meeting ended with a visit of some sports venues and the Hangar 14, the place where the opening and closing ceremonies will be held. We would like to thank Allianz for this meeting and we look forward to welcoming all the club’s athletes to Bordeaux next year.

PARTNERS OF THE 24th EDITION

“Created in June 2021, the Club Hôtelier Bordeaux Métropole (CHBM) federates hotels and tourist residences in Bordeaux. As of today, the club has more than 100 members, providing more than 7,500 rooms.

The CHBM’s mission is to participate in the development of the tourist attraction of the Bordeaux area and its city and to find its synergies to accompany the members in the transition towards a sustainable and responsible tourism.

The CHBM is naturally concerned by the next European Company Sport Games which will take place in June 2023 in Bordeaux, as the reception and accommodation are essential factors in the success of such an event. A partnership agreement with the FFSE has been signed to provide future participants with a catalogue of accommodations and their availability. Our members will commit themselves to facilitating the European Games and share the city’s joie de vivre.”
