#BeActive in Luxembourg

One of the measures in the European Union’s action plan for sport is the #BeActive initiative, centred around European Week of Sport, which takes place every year from 23 to 30 September. This initiative by the European Commission aims to encourage European citizens to take part in sporting activities, regardless of their age, social status or physical or athletic ability.

 

Since 2015, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has been actively participating in this initiative. Coordination is handled by the Ministry of Sport, which is committed to promoting and coordinating a programme of sporting activities organised between 1 and 30 September each year.

 

To this end, a number of initiatives are carried out in collaboration with other national and local authorities and with partners from the sports sector.

 

The aim is simple: to encourage everyone to get moving, give things a go, have fun and adopt a more active lifestyle. By highlighting the richness and diversity of sporting opportunities in Luxembourg, #BeActive Day aims to inspire people of all ages to make sport a real pleasure in their daily lives.

 

Join us on Saturday 26 September 2026 in Pétange, Wiltz, Steinfort or Echternach to celebrate the end of European Week of Sport together and enjoy a day full of discoveries, new encounters and sporting excitement.
