One World games in 2018!

Monday, 22 March 2010

Pride Sports is delighted to have played host to the European Gay Lesbian Sports Federation (EGLSF) Annual General Assembly March 2010. This event witnessed one of the most historic sporting announcement in the LGBT sporting world for many years, with both the boards of GLISA International and the Federation of Gay Games committing to one world sporting event in 2018. This means the best of the World Outgames and the best of Gay Games will be presented in one super world sporting event!

Below are clips from the statements of each board:

Following a meeting of the Co-Presidents of the Gay and Lesbian International Sport Association (GLISA International) and the Federation of GayGames on 5 March, 2010, in Manchester, UK, to discuss the future of worldwide LGBT sport, culture and human rights events, the Board of GLISA International affirms that One Quadrennial Event in 2018 is our joint goal.
