European games

The logo and visual identity of European Games Istanbul 2027 were unveiled on Tuesday, one year before the event. Bosphorus Bridge is represented there. A symbol of the Turkish capital, but also of the city's role in uniting cultures and continents. Above the bridge appear " Tulip petals representing Europe and Asia, reflecting unity, diversity and cultural exchange ", as well as the flame of the European Games.

« Turkey's passion for sport, its experience in organizing world-class events, and our strong collaboration with the organizing committee give us every confidence that athletes and fans alike will experience a truly unforgettable experience next year in one of the world's largest cities », enthuses Spyros Capralos.

« In one year, Europe will gather in Istanbul. By marking this important milestone, we are celebrating much more than just the countdown to a major sporting event. We celebrate the power of sport to bring people together, to create opportunities and to build bridges between nations, cultures and generations, adds Mihai Covaliu, president of the EOC Coordination Commission. It is entirely appropriate that the symbol of Istanbul 2027 is a bridge.A bridge that connects continents, but also connects athletes to their dreams, countries to each other, and a new generation of champions with an Olympic future awaiting them in Los Angeles in 2028. »
