Glasgow European Capital of Sport 2023
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the announcement made by ACES Europe, a non-profit association based in Brussels, that Glasgow will be the European Capital of Sport for 2023; understands that this title will mark 20 years since Glasgow first gained the accolade in 2003, and notes that this is the only city to have secured the honour twice; believes the title was won by demonstrating Glasgow’s commitment to supporting grassroots-level sport, development of physical activity and an ability to attract major sporting events; believes that the city’s sporting reputation has gone from strength to strength, hosting a series of world-class sporting events at outstanding venues, including the 2014 Commonwealth Games, the 2015 World Gymnastics Championships and the first-ever European Championships in 2018, and commends everyone involved in securing this title.
