Purpose

The aim is the development and dissemination of sports, as a mean of psycho-physical and moral integrity, promoting the activities of the affiliated sports clubs operating on European scale and organizing projects, erasmus trips and events for the exchange of good practice, sports promotion, maintenance of the human body in shape and entertainment youth activities. Particular attention is given at the fight against doping, intolerance and violence, access to sport for people with disabilities, social inclusion of immigrants and gender equality . [6]

In the European sport system a significant role is played by multisport clubs who – through their multiple involvement on a large variety of sports – understand better than anyone else the different social dimensions, impacts and needs of sports. [7]
