Colleagues from all over the world will compete in Frederikshavn, Denmark in the World Company Sport Games in 2026. After several years of skillful lobbying, Denmark has landed one of the most significant company sports events.

In 2026, Denmark will host more than 5,000 participants in the World Company Sport Games (WCSG).

Denmark already has a good reputation as the organizer of the European version, ECSG, which has been staged in Denmark twice before. Most recently in 2007 in Aalborg – in the same region as Frederikshavn.

"Thanks to the professional work of our talented partners – the local clubs,  Frederikshavn Municipality, Sport Event Denmark, and Arena Nord, we now welcome a world company sports event to Denmark," says Peder Bisgaard, president of the Danish Federation for Company Sport, and vice-president of EFCS.

Peder Bisgaard further explains that the Danish Federation for Company Sport welcomes the opportunity to give colleagues from all over the world an insight into how Denmark practices company sports. The company sports federations in Norway and Sweden have already indicated that they expect large participation.

"We also hope that many Danish workplaces will form strong relationships through sports with like-minded people from all over the world," says Peder Bisgaard.
