In Denmark, each event is delivered through a unique and close cooperation between three parties; Sport Event Denmark, the host city and the National Federation
Our role in this event triangle is mainly to provide advice and financial support. The host city contributes in the areas of funding, logistical support and promotion of the event. The national federation is responsible for all technical and commercial matters; such as ticket sales and sponsorship.
This model creates a joint team that is contributing to and taking responsibility for every aspect of the event. It keeps all three parties actively engaged in the event from the vital bidding phase to the execution of a carefully planned, commercially viable and overall successful event
Our Vision
Denmark's position as one of the leading sporting event nations in the world should be maintained and expanded with new flagship events
