ENGSO LOGO PoemAn azure bridge and a yellow star There are those who might ask, why they are The ENGSO logo, and what they mean The answer's our aims, our hopes, our dream The bridge it will help span many a gap People may cross without fear or mishap It will link all the nations from every place No matter the colour, the gender or race A star is a symbol, it shines in the sky It's something to aim for no matter how high From beginners to veterans there's always a place For all who take part and join in the race At the ENGSO Assemblies we are but a few Of the many millions, who want us to do Our best representing their wishes and dreams for the future of sport and all that it means So welcome dear friends both the old and the new Your commitment ot ENGSO will see us get through Our tasks, which are many with objectives so high But our bridge it will help reach that star in the sky.
European National Sports Confederations and National Olympic Committees, if they are the national umbrella organisations for sports, form the association “European Non-Governmental Sports Organisation” (ENGSO) which is a non-profit making or distributing organisation with public responsibilities. This means that the members of ENGSO represent the national sport in its broadest sense - from children and youth sport, over “sport for all” activities to elite sports. ENGSO presently has 40 national umbrella sports organisations as members. ENGSO is today the only European sports organisation having been granted consultative status by the Council of Europe.
