History

The history of Euro-Sportring goes back to 1951, when the first sports exchange between Haarlem, Netherlands and Saarbrücken, Germany took place. In 1960, Euro-Sportring was registered in Amsterdam as a non-profit foundation. Originally, the sports programmes were held in Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark and Austria. Over the years, other European countries were gradually incorporated to the programme.
