Welcome to the 29th TAFISA World Congress Prague 2026 website

Welcome Message from the TAFISA President

I am thrilled to welcome the world to the TAFISA World Congress 2026 to take place in the beautiful city of Prague. This Congress comes at a crucial time when the need for collaboration and knowledge sharing has never been greater.

The theme, ‘Sport for All: Building Bridges for Inclusion, Equity, and Harmony’, underscores the renewed importance of unity, peace, and collective action in a divided world. As we face growing challenges, we must continue working together to advance physical activity and Sport for All.

The Congress will be a space for doers—practitioners, changemakers, and community leaders—who are using Sport for All to create real impact on the ground. It will provide a vital platform to exchange ideas, share lived experiences, and shape innovative strategies for the future.

We look forward to welcoming delegates from all corners of the world to Prague to be part of this meaningful conversation and help shape the future of the global Sport for All movement.

Welcome Message from the President of the Organising Committee

Dear sports friends, ladies and gentlemen,

It is with great joy that I can invite you to Prague for the 29th TAFISA World Congress, to be held in May 2026. It is a true honour that the Czech Sokol Organisation – a traditional Czech institution with more than 160 years of history built on the idea of Sport for All – has the opportunity to host this prestigious event in the heart of Europe.

We live in a world full of challenges that affect each of us. We firmly believe that Sport for All can serve as a bridge to overcome them – a powerful connector that unites generations, cultures, and nations, fostering understanding, health, and harmony. The congress theme, “Sport for All: Building Bridges for Inclusion, Equity, and Harmony”, perfectly reflects this shared vision.

The congress will provide a platform for open discussions, sharing best practices, and exchanging innovative ideas. We aim to create an environment where experts, leaders, practitioners, and enthusiasts from all around the world can meet – united by the belief that Sport for All is a key to building a better future.

Prague will welcome you with its unique atmosphere, and we, as organisers, will do everything we can to ensure that each participant feels truly at home. We look forward to experiencing inspiring days together, strengthening our partnerships, and shaping new impulses for the global Sport for All movement.

I look forward to meeting you in Prague in May 2026!
