These activities are intended to facilitate their welcome, integration and discovery of our beautiful region, its sites, its institutions and actors, while promoting the connection between International and local Geneva. The wish of our two institutions was to expand this programme of activities by including a "sport" section. Our region offers great opportunities in this field and there are several clubs and associations that host a wide variety of sport activities. The CAGI and the FpG are pleased to present this brochure which provides an overview of the important offer in term of sports clubs in Geneva and its surroundings. Sport is an essential factor of integration, facilitating exchanges, gatherings and links between International and local Geneva. The Domaine La Pastorale International Geneva Welcome Centre and the Fondation pour 106, route de Ferney Genève are pleased to contribute to this endeavor.
