World Children’s Day

Today is World Children’s Day — a day that inspires our commitment to children and their right to play, learn, and grow through sport.

For nearly three decades, we have been organizing sports competitions and educational programs for children that are accessible and free of charge for every child. Our mission is simple: to enable children connect through sport, learn fair play, tolerance, and healthy habits. Across four countries — Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Slovenia — we play, learn, and grow together in more than 420 cities. Over the past 29 years, more than 3,440,000 children and young people have taken part in our programs.

Thank you to everyone who supports us — the governments in the countries where the Games are held, sponsors, athletes, ambassadors, and of course, all the children who continue to place their trust in us and join the Games in growing numbers each year.

Together, we are building a better future — through sport, community, and values that last a lifetime.
