The European Youth Olympic Festival (EYOF) is a multisport event which takes place in two year cycles, in odd years. It is open to young European athletes between the ages of 14 and 18. It is designed to provide the first ‘Olympic’ experience for young European athletes and a take-off platform for our sports stars of the future.

The European Youth Olympic Festival belongs to the European Olympic Committees (EOC), and is organised by cities and countries who are appointed through a rigorous selection process. The first edition took place in 1991 in Brussels (BEL); the festival also has a winter edition which began in 1993 in Aosta, Italy (ITA).

The 2022 edition will be taking place in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia. The EOC have confirmed that the 2023 and 2025 editions are due to be held in Koper (SLO) and Brno (CZE), respectively.
