Invitation to the 17th World Gymnaestrada 2023 in Amsterdam, NED
Dear friends of Gymnastics,
The Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG) and the Royal Dutch Gymnastics Federation – KNGU have the pleasure to invite you to take part in the 17th World Gymnaestrada.
The 17th World Gymnaestrada is open to all FIG-affiliated federations, and will be held from 30 July to 5 August, 2023 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The World Gymnaestrada is an international non-competitive Gymnastics for All event that gives everyone the possibility to participate. It brings together people of all genders, age groups, abilities and cultures. All generations gather together to show and share, and to build friendships that last a lifetime.
Amsterdam, the host city, is the city of tolerance, connection, sport, fun and culture. These are touchpoints that also apply to the World Gymnaestrada, one of the most celebrated events in global sports. The roots of the Gymnaestrada lie in the Netherlands, and the Royal Dutch Gymnastics Federation and the city of Amsterdam are very proud to be organizing the 17th World Gymnaestrada. They have joined forces to raise the event to the next level in 2023, and invite you to, ‘Feel at home and take the stage!’
On 30 July 2020, all affiliated federations will receive the first Information bulletin from the Local Organising Committee. Information about costs and a schedule for the upcoming three years will follow in October 2020.
The first information meeting, organised by the FIG Gymnastics for All Committee and the Local Organising Committee, will be held in Amsterdam in June 2021. All federations will be invited.
