Global Sports Week Paris (GSW) is the latest victim of the health crisis. Its organizers have decided to postpone the 2022 edition by two months. Initially scheduled for March 7 to 11, it will now be held from May 9 to 13, in order to guarantee the international dimension of the event. Around 2.000 international participants are expected in person at the Accor Arena in Paris on May 10 and 11. At the same time, thousands of others will participate virtually in the event throughout the week via a dedicated digital platform. As a reminder, two editions of Global Sports Week have taken place since its creation: at the Louvre at the start of 2020, then in a hybrid format the following year, with events at the Eiffel Tower, Tokyo, Beijing, Dakar, Milan and Los Angeles. In addition, the organizers announce the arrival of two new official supporters of the event, World Athletics and the International Cycling Union (UCI). They join UNESCO, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), FIBA, FIVB, BWF and the World Federation of the Sporting Goods Industry (WFSGI). FrancsJeux has been a media partner of Global Sports Week in Paris since its first edition.
