Our story
- The Paris World Games were originally the fruit of a project between enthusiasts who had been volunteering on football pitches for many seasons with the Pitray Olier Paris club. Each year, Christophe and François Claret de Fleurieu take part in the world’s biggest youth football tournament, the Gothia Cup in Sweden. As agents for major tournaments, they have also organised a tournament renowned for its sporting and organisational excellence, the PO Paris tournament, in parallel with their higher education studies.
- The Paris World Games combine the experience of world sports games with the irresistible attraction that the city of Paris represents for young people from all over the world. Developed as part of the HEC Paris Incubator, as well as by chance meetings, the first edition of the tournament took place in 2015.
- 2024 will mark the 8th anniversary of the Paris World Games! To mark this occasion, the Paris World Games team would like to give young girls and boys from all over the world the opportunity to live out their dreams through sport.
