Wanted
- Host an athlete
- The Brussels Games need you!
Would you like to host an athlete?
We are currently looking for people who would like to host one or more athletes from Friday 6th til Sunday 8th September. This is the perfect opportunity to meet with athletes from all over Europe and show them the Belgian hospitality and the Brussels culture. In order to thank you, we would like to invite all hosts to the BGS party on Saturday 7 September. If you host participants, you will then receive a free entry to the party.
No need for much
To accommodate the athletes, only a bed is needed with just a good dose of hospitality. In order to give them the necessary strength, do not forget breakfast on Saturday morning – before the tournament – and Sunday. And if you know a friend who has a second bedroom, an available bed or sofa, please forward them this information!
How to proceed?
Fill in the online hosting form below to indicate the number of places that you can offer, as well as some elements of community life necessary for the good atmosphere between the host and the hosted. About two weeks before the tournament, we will put you in contact by email with the person or people you will be hosting. The ideal would be for you to meet at the welcome party on Friday 6 September.
Other questions?
For more information about the hosting of athletes, please contact Matthieu at lodging@bgs.org.
A big thank you for opening your house or your apartment!
