Paris 2018 Gay Games 10: Registrations are open!

Registrations for Paris 2018 Gay Games 10 start officially today! The Gay Games are the largest sporting, cultural and festive event open to everyone, regardless of age, origin, gender, sexual orientation, experience or disability. From 4 to 12 August 2018, more than 15,000 athletes from 70+ countries and 40,000 attendees are expected to visit gay Paris and promote equality and openness under one banner: "All Equal".

During the eight days of the event, Paris 2018 Gay Games 10 will host competitions in 36 disciplines (soccer, basketball, swimming as well as skating or French « pétanque »), 14 cultural events, a series of conferences and many ceremonies and parties in prestigious Parisian venues like Roland Garros stadium, the arena of Lutetia, the Philharmonic, La Villette or Bercy Arena. The Gay Games Village will be located right in the center of Paris, on the City Hall Plaza. The opening ceremony will take place at the Jean Bouin stadium, followed by a gala evening in the Grand Palais.

Registrations open today, 813 days before the opening ceremony, at the same time as the International Tournament of Paris starts. For the Paris 2018 Gay Games 10 organizers, the date is also the opportunity to launch their brand new website (see screenshot below) on which participants will find the entire program and all the necessary information for already planning their stay!
