ByHugo Alonso

Last 12th December ACES hosted in the European Parliament an unforgettable Awards Gala, marking its 25th anniversary with a celebration of sport, health, and innovation in three remarkable capitals: Monaco (World), Tallinn (Europe), and Chihuahua (America).

The event, a true highlight of the year, brought together representatives from across the globe to honor cities that have excelled in promoting sports and physical activity. Each of the awarded cities  showcased their commitment to fostering healthier and more active communities, embodying the spirit of ACES: Sport for All.

Adding to the significance of the evening, ACES had the privilege of welcoming Commissioner Micallef, who made his first official appearance since taking office. His presence underscored the importance of collaboration and the shared vision for a healthier, more inclusive future through sports.

ACES extends the warmest congratulations to all the awardees and deepest gratitude to everyone who played a part in making this night so special. Here’s to another 25 years of inspiring innovation and promoting the values of sport worldwide.
