Monaco to host Council of Europe Sports Ministers in November
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
The Principality will welcome delegates from across Europe on 3-4 November 2026 for the 19th Council of Europe Conference of Ministers responsible for sport.
Monaco will host the 19th Council of Europe Conference of Ministers Responsible for Sport on 3 and 4 November 2026, a significant diplomatic appointment that places the Principality at the centre of European sports policy discussions this autumn.
The theme of the conference is "A Safer and Healthier Sport for All Children", and preparatory work is already under way. At a recent experts' meeting, Monaco's representatives joined delegates and youth representatives to develop the lines of thinking that will inform the ministerial decisions adopted here in November.
The gathering will bring together sports ministers from Council of Europe member states, making it one of the more substantive intergovernmental events Monaco has hosted in the field of sport and child welfare policy.
