The Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Maribor as well as representatives from the NOC Slovenia were among the guests attending the event and the press conference.

Maribor will host the best European young athletes aged 14-18 who will compete in 13 disciplines from 23 to 29 July 2023.

The sports on the programme are: artistic gymnastics, athletics, 3×3 basketball, road cycling, mountain biking, handball, judo, swimming, tennis, volleyball, canoe sprint, skateboarding and, for the first time ever at the EYOF, football for girls.

It is not the first time that an EYOF takes place in Slovenia, as Bled hosted in 2003 the winter edition of the event.
