Featured Events - Join the Sportrégió's flagship events
The Veszprém–Balaton European Region of Sport 2026 initiative is not about a single event, but rather a series of shared experiences. Here you’ll find the featured programs where movement, community, and the power of tradition come together— in cities, towns, villages, or nature, in a community.
Veszprém Handball Day
Over the decades, the fate of Veszprém and handball have become intertwined— so handball in the city is not just one sport among many, but also symbolizes the identity of the county seat. On May 17 (Sunday), the 1st Veszprém Handball Day is more than just a sporting event, because in addition to paying tribute to the rich history of local handball, it will also be a multi-faceted event held in the team’s former “lion’s den,” the hall on Március 15 Street.
Get Moving, Veszprém! – Exercise for Everyone
As part of this free special physical education class, professional world champion Zsolt Erdei and Luca Hámori, an Olympic 5th-place finisher, will lead a joint, easy-to-follow gymnastics and movement program. The goal of the event is to get the body moving, develop body awareness, and encourage regardless of age or fitness level.
Challenge Day
On March 21, downtown Veszprém will transform into a massive community playground where, in a single day, we will come together to make history. Challenge Day is a highlight of the Veszprém–Balaton European Regoin of Sport 2026 program series. On that day, we’ll also try to break 4 Guinness World Records! This is a challenge that will require the simultaneous movement of hundreds, even thousands, of participants.
The Region of Sport isn't about spectators—it's about participants!
Check back regularly, as the list of featured events is constantly growing— with new venues, new communities, and new shared experiences.
