TheEuropean Youth Olympic Festival (EYOF) is a biennialmulti-sport event for youth (14 to 18 years old[1]) athletes from the 50 member countries of the association ofEuropean Olympic Committees. The festival has a summer edition, held for the first time inBrussels in 1991, and a winter edition, which began two years later inAosta. It was known as theEuropean Youth Olympic Days from 1991 to 1999.[2]
The event is run by theEuropean Olympic Committees, under the patronage of theInternational Olympic Committee, and was the first multi-sport event in the Olympic tradition specifically for European athletes; it predates its senior equivalent, theEuropean Games by some 24 years, and theYouth Olympic Games by 19 years.
The event should not be confused with the various European junior and youth championships in individual sports, such as theEuropean Junior Athletics Championships which are organised by sporting federations.
