First European Games in Baku

The European Games are an exciting and innovative new format that will be the continent’s first major multi-sport event. All members of the European Committees have been invited to attend and compete in Azerbaijan’s capital city Baku, situated on the shores of the Caspian Sea. The Opening Ceremony will be held on Friday 12 June 2015, with the Closing Ceremony celebrated on Sunday 28 June. The Games were designed and are to be regulated by the European Olympic Committees (EOC) and run with the support of the Baku 2015 European Games Operation Committee (BEGOC). Baku was awarded the honour of being the first host of the Games at the 41st EOC General Assembly in Rome, on 8 December 2012. The European Games will take place every four years thereafter, with the next competition due to be held in 2019.
