Dear Friends!

On behalf of Aalborg City Council and SIFA it gives me a great pleasure to invite all of our twin cities to The International Youth Games 2019 in Aalborg from Tuesday July 30 – Sunday August 4, 2019 (arrival on July 30 and departure on August 4).

We are looking forward to seeing our friends in Aalborg for Youth Games for the 12th time.
As in 2015 Aalborg Freja (local football club in the western part of Aalborg) will be headquarter for The Youth Games.
This facility has central location in relation to all the sports, which mostly can be reached by foot.
Dinners as well as various social activities for all participants will be held at Aalborg Freja during the Youth Games.
We invite young athletes, born in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 including leaders and 2 principal leaders for the sports group to Aalborg.
