The many athletic faces of the Festhalle
Traditionally a place of movement: As the venue for rhythmic gymnastics, the Festhalle will set the stage for precision, elegance, and peak performance. But its varied history is filled with diverse acts: Those who come to love the venue during competition can rediscover it time and again through a myriad of different events — whether during the emotional red carpet-finish of the Mainova Frankfurt Marathon, at the International Festhalle Equestrian Tournament, or the festive Ball of Sports. Seldom has a venue embodied the transition between tension, emotion, and spectacle so impressively.
International highlights in the heart of Europe
Frankfurt am Main will remain in top sporting form even beyond 2026. In 2027, the city will host the UEFA Europa League Final: an event that holds special significance, not least thanks to Eintracht Frankfurt’s own triumph in 2022. A year later, the EuroGames 2028 will follow: Europe’s largest multi-sport event for the LGBTIQ* community, held under the motto “Sport, Democracy, and Freedom – in the Heart of Europe.” It’s a celebration of diversity where athletic competition and social tolerance go hand in hand. Then in 2029, Frankfurt am Main will again become a host city for one of international football’s biggest highlights — the UEFA Women’s EURO.
