The Danish Year of Sport 2009 embraces more than 60 major international sports events.
The prospects for Denmark as a host nation are promising. More than 60 major international sports events and congresses are scheduled throughout the country in 2009.
Sport Event Denmark has been working determinedly with the Danish sports federations and host cities to extend the list of sports events in Denmark specifically in 2009, a year the Ministry of Culture has appointed as the Danish Year of Sport.
Thanks to the Danish government's decision to increase its funding to Sport Event Denmark, extra resources have been used to put Denmark in the forefront as one of the strongest European host nations. In this context, the hosting of the IOC Session and Congress in October in Copenhagen is the absolute flagship.
The diversity of the events is striking and so are the locations: from a Pro Tour table tennis tournament in Frederikshavn to the UEFA Congress in Copenhagen; the World Wrestling Championships in Herning; the World Taekwondo Championships in Ballerup and the culmination of the year the IOC Session and Congress in Copenhagen.
In Denmark we have the experience, partners and venues to make the many events a success – but we want to invite you to see for yourself. So please check out the event calendar for the Danish Year of Sport 2009.
