President of the EFCS

It has been more than 15 years since an Italian city has had the honor of hosting the summer European Games of Company Sports. This new edition will undoubtedly benefit from the prior experience and all the attention of the dynamic Italian organization of company sports (CSAIn).

 

When we chose the city of Riccione, we did it on the basis of a solid portfolio. The commitment on the part of Riccione’s mayor, city representatives, associative and sporting secretaries, in addition to that of the local economic and tourist industry, has been unquestionable.

 

The experience that Riccione has (also the site of an Italian national Olympic federation) in organizing large sporting events needs no confirmation, seeing as it has two world championships to its credit, in addition to organizing numerous Italian championships. Ideally positioned on the Adriatic (a destination of international fame), the city of Riccione benefits from a hotel infrastructure of a quality, quantity and diversity that we haven’t seen in our previous destinations, ensuring competitive prices and a vast selection.
And the sporting aspect won’t disappoint. The renovation and construction of new sports facilities will go toward the completion of – for the pleasure of our athletes – a park which in and of itself already suffices for the organization of our 2015 Games.

 

This large event should attract more than 8,000 athletes from all of the member nations of the European Federation for Company Sport. This competition, based on the complementing values of a genuine and healthy practice of sport, will find its full meaning in the conscientiousness and professionalism of the Italian organization.

 

Deciding to participate in these Games of Riccione, you will have the opportunity to discover one of the most beautiful seaside cities of Italy, which has decided to welcome you under the sun of its beaches, and where the population will make each of you a guest of honor. It is with confidence and excitement therefore, that I invite you to participate en masse in this event, also considering the great investment made by the Italian organization and the city of Riccione.
Participating in the 20th European Company Sport Games, you will have the honor of participating in the sporting event of 2015.

 

I’ll see you, then, in Riccione on June 3, 2015.

 

Kindest regards,

Didier Besseyre
President of the European Federation for Company Sport
