The Monaco Athletics Federation has announced that the Principality will host the 2026 Championships of the Small States of Europe.
Following the most recent edition, held this past June at Gibraltar’s Lathbury Athletics Stadium, the Monaco Athletics Federation confirmed on 2nd December that Monaco’s Stade Louis II will welcome the 2026 competition.
The date for the next edition of the biennial sports championship has already been set: 30th May 2026.
In addition to athletes from the Principality, 17 other nations will be represented at the European Athletics-supported event, including Andorra, Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cyprus, Georgia, Gibraltar, Iceland, Kosovo, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Moldova, North Macedonia, Malta, Montenegro and San Marino.
The 2026 edition will also serve as a key step in the preparations for the 2027 Games of the Small States of Europe, an event open to European nations with populations of less than one million citizens, which will also be held in Monaco.
