Brașov, Romania, is hosting and preparing for major international youth sporting events. In late August 2026, the city concluded the 12th edition of the FunSports Cup, an international youth handball tournament that featured 134 teams from nine different countries.

Following this event, preparations have shifted toward the 2027 European Youth Olympic Festival (FOTE). Organizers and delegates from the European Olympic Committees recently held a Mission Chiefs Seminar in Brașov to review progress. The 2027 festival is expected to host over 1,000 young athletes and will utilize existing sports infrastructure in Brașov and surrounding locations such as Predeal, Râșnov, and Sfântu Gheorghe.
