The city of Alcoy hosts the 44th edition of the Sports Games, with over 2,000 schoolchildren participating in 13 sports disciplines, promoting educational values and inter-municipal coexistence.

The Sports Department of the Alcoy City Council has launched the 44th edition of the Sports Games, an initiative that this year brings together more than 2,000 children. These competitions, spanning 13 different sports disciplines, both team and individual, aim to promote sports practice among the young population and instill fundamental values such as respect, coexistence, camaraderie, effort, and teamwork.
This project stands out for its inter-municipal character, as it includes the participation of schoolchildren from neighboring towns such as Cocentaina, Ontinyent, Muro, Ibi, Castalla, Banyeres de Mariola, and Beniarrés. This dimension fosters encounters and relationships among young people from different municipalities, consolidating sport as a space for coexistence.
This year, the initiative marks an important milestone with the collaboration of Unión Alcoyana Seguros, which celebrates 15 years of uninterrupted support for the Sports Games. Their involvement is key to ensuring the continuity of a project that offers schoolchildren a valuable opportunity to practice sports in an educational and participatory environment.
The Sports Department also wishes to acknowledge the essential work of the organizing committees and local sports clubs. Their collaboration is fundamental for the development of the competitions, especially in individual disciplines, ensuring a broad and high-quality sports offering for all participants.
