EUROPEAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEES

As an official partner of the European Olympic Committees, EUSA was in

attendance as invited guests at the 49th European Olympic Committees General

Assembly which took place as an online event on Friday, November 27.

The General Assembly was
originally set to take place in
a hybrid format at the CONI
Headquarters in Rome, Italy, yet
due to the global pandemic, the
event was held virtually.

EUSA has been an official
partner of the EOC since a
Memorandum of Understanding
was signed between the two
organisations in 2018, with
EUSA President Mr Adam
Roczek and Secretary General
Mr Matjaz Pecovnik both
virtually present for the General
Assembly.

Following the welcome
addresses to open the General
Assembly, which included a
statement from International

Olympic Committees President

Mr Thomas Bach, a report was

given by EOC Acting President

Mr Niels Nygaard, followed

by presentations from EOC

Secretary General Mr Raffaele

Pagnozzi and EOC Acting

Treasurer, Mr Peter Mennel.

Following approval of the 2019

Financial Statements and

2021 Budget, ANOC Secretary

General Ms Gunilla Lindberg

gave a report, following which

IOC Reports were presented

regarding Olympic Solidarity and

Olympic Games.

Georgia’s Borjomi and Bakuriani

and Brno in the Czech Republic

were then confirmed as

candidates of host city status

for the winter and summer

editions of the 2025 European

Youth Olympics Festival.

An update on preparations

for the 2023 Krakow &

Malopolska European Games

in Poland was then given,

with the amendments to the

EOC Articles of Association

discussed thereafter, with the

EOC Strategic Agenda 2030 the

last item on the agenda.

During the General Assembly,

Mr Niels Nygaard and Mr

Spyros Capralos announced

their candidacies for position of

President of the EOC, with both

signalling their intent to stand in

the following year’s elections.

The event also saw the late

Mr Janez Kocijancic being

posthumously awarded the EOC

Order of Merit Award, while

Italian biathlete Linda Zingerle

was named the winner of the

EOC Winter Piotr Nurowski

Prize.
