The 35th International Sport for All Festival will take place in Budva, Montenegro, from 23 to 27 September 2026, bringing together participants from across the Balkans and beyond for one of the region’s largest recreational sport events.
The festival is jointly organized by the Association Sport for All Serbia and the Montenegrin Sports Recreation Association “Sport for All”, with the support of the Balkan Association of Workers’ Sports (BAWS). Over the years, this event has become an important platform for promoting active lifestyles, recreational sport, social inclusion, and regional cooperation among sport organizations, companies, local authorities, and recreational athletes.
This year’s edition carries additional international significance, as it will host the official CSIT qualification tournaments in 3x3 Basketball and Petanque for the 2027 World Sports Games in Aalborg, Denmark. Alongside delegations from the Balkan region, participants from several countries, including Mexico, Italy, France, Tunisia, Senegal, and Ghana, are expected to compete for qualification to the global event.
The festival program combines competitive, recreational, and social activities, creating opportunities for participants of different ages and backgrounds to engage in sport, networking, and cultural exchange. Competitions will include team and individual disciplines such as football, volleyball, basketball 3x3, beach volleyball, table tennis, swimming, badminton, chess, padel, petanque, and several other sports. Recreational fitness activities and social events will further contribute to the unique festival atmosphere.
By bringing together participants from numerous countries in an environment that promotes fair play, friendship, and healthy living, the festival continues to demonstrate the values of the international Sport for All movement and the important role of sport in connecting people across borders.
