Coimbra to Host Games Without Borders

Diário de Coimbra11 September 2026 at 09:45

The city of Coimbra will host an edition of the Games Without Borders, an event that will be integrated within European Week of Sport 2026. This initiative represents an opportunity to boost sporting practice in the city and strengthen its connection to European initiatives promoting movement and well-being.

The event will take place at Parque Verde do Mondego, a riverside space that offers suitable conditions for outdoor sports activities. The location next to the Municipal Water Sports Centre also allows for linking the Games Without Borders activities with existing water sports facilities.

The Games Without Borders are traditionally known for bringing together participants from different countries in competitions that combine sport and socializing, promoting values of integration and cultural exchange. By integrating this format into European Week of Sport, Coimbra positions itself as an active municipality in celebrating this European initiative.

The choice of Coimbra to host this event reflects the municipality's commitment to promoting sport and physical activity, fitting into a broader strategy of enhancing public spaces and revitalizing the city's sporting and cultural life.
