Three continents. One ASPC family.
With the 2026 ASPC Continental Forums concluded in Rio Maior (Portugal), Swakopmund (Namibia) and Guatemala City (Guatemala), we celebrate the people and partnerships that brought our community together.
Portugal - Our heartfelt thanks to Rio Maior Sports Centre, Miguel Pacheco, Susana Feitor OLY, Hugo Dinis and the local organising committee for their dedication and hospitality.
Namibia - In Swakopmund, we thank The Dome Namibia, the Namibia Sport Commission and the organising team. Thank you also to Gaby Ahrens and Beatrice Masilingi for sharing valuable perspectives on athlete pathways, career support, women in sport and talent development.
Guatemala - In Guatemala City, we sincerely thank CDAG and the Comité Olímpico Guatemalteco. Special appreciation goes to Bayron Solórzano, Euda Carias and Glenda María de Vega, the entire organising team, and Francisco Ardón and Gerardo Aguirre for their support.
These gatherings also marked a new chapter in ASPC leadership. Congratulations to Léonore Perrus, Vice-President for Europe; Bayron Solórzano, Vice-President for America; Iván Rodríguez Ramallo OLY, Secretary General; and Fiona de Jong, Executive Vice-President.
We offer special recognition to Debbie Low, Josep Escoda Saloni and Ken Bagnell for their years of service and their contribution to strengthening our international community.
Thank you also to Eleiko, Sprint AI, our ASPC Worldwide sponsors, and all local partners and sponsors.
To every speaker, participant, and ASPC member who helped lead these events, thank you for generously sharing your knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Special mention to Athlete365 speakers (Pavla Foley and Carolina Hesse-Ahumada; you both are the anchors of Olympic athletes' legacy. Thank you)
These Forums advance our mission of exchanging knowledge in high-performance sport. They also strengthen relationships, create opportunities for cooperation, and bring new countries closer to the ASPC family as we look towards 2027.
Together, we continue to grow as a community where we learn from one another for the benefit of athletes and coaches worldwide.
See you at the XV ASPC World Forum – Belgrade 2027
