What does inclusion mean to the people helping bring the EuroGames Cardiff 2027 to life?

We are continuing the campaign featuring voices from the EuroGames Cardiff team, reflections on belonging, visibility, and what truly inclusive sport feels like.

Their words are a reminder that inclusion is not just a principle. It’s something people feel, build, and protect together.

As registration opens for EuroGames Cardiff 2027, these portraits offer a glimpse of the spirit behind the event: a space where LGBTQ+ people and allies can come together through sport, community, and shared purpose.

Today marks , a day to highlight the importance of safety and inclusion for all q***r individuals in sports.

In this video, members of our community share what this means to them: friendship, safety, confidence, visibility, joy, and the liberty to exist authentically. Sport should be a space where everyone feels they belong.

While creating q***r-inclusive spaces creates connection and empowerment, many LGBTQI+ people still encounter exclusion, discrimination, and obstacles to participating in sports.

Therefore, IDAHOBIT serves not only as a day for visibility but also as a call to action, advocating for the right to participate, belong, and be seen. EGLSF remains committed to ensuring everyone can safely and openly engage in sport as their true selves.

Explore our new Polaroids from the “Framing Inclusion” series.

Today’s pictures and messages show how inclusion is experienced in everyday moments, being able to play, participate, and express oneself freely, without hesitation. For some, it’s about feeling comfortable; for others, it’s about visibility and safety. For everyone, it’s about existing without the fear of being authentic.

The wait is over!

We are incredibly proud to officially share the very first pictures from our campaign “Framing Inclusion”.

We asked participants what inclusion in sport truly means to them and how it feels.

In these first few Polaroids, a beautiful, unifying theme immediately emerged: true inclusion is about finding a safe space to be your true self. It is the freedom to play and express your feelings without fear of judgment, and the power to be heard, supported, and unapologetically yourself without having to fit into any expected standards.

Swipe through the graphics to see the faces, emotions, and read the notes from our community.

Last week’s decision by the International Olympic Committee marks a concerning step backwards for inclusion in sport.

On the International Transgender Day of Visibility, we reaffirm what sport should stand for: dignity, safety, and equal access for all.

The EuroGames will continue to uphold inclusive participation policies — and that will not change.

We stand with transgender and intersex communities today and every day.

What does inclusion in sport feel like?

Last month, at the EGLSF Annual General Assembly, we asked participants this simple question and invited them to answer not just with words, but with expression and emotions.

Through our “Framing Inclusion” campaign, we captured instant moments on Polaroid film: faces, gestures, and handwritten reflections that together form a collective portrait of inclusion across our community.

Watch the video and stay tuned for what came out of it.
