Today (24 April) marks 100 days to go until sporting history is made through Glasgow and Berlin’s co-hosting of the first ever combined European Championships, from 2 to 12 August this summer.

One million residents, visitors, spectators and media will be part of the sporting and cultural experience of the Glasgow 2018 European Championships taking place from 2 to 12 August this summer. More than 3,200 athletes from 52 nations will travel to Scotland as part of an overall delegation of 8,500 including media and officials. Glasgow will host six sports – Aquatics, Cycling, Golf, Gymnastics, Rowing and Triathlon – with Berlin hosting Athletics.

The German capital will see 1,500 athletes compete at its European Championships taking place from the 7th to the 12th August, with their 100 days to go celebrations this coming Sunday, 29 April.

Glasgow and Scotland are ready to welcome huge crowds, with up to one million people expected as residents, visitors, spectators and media all come together to be part of the sporting and cultural experience.

As well as the boost to visitor numbers, coverage of the sporting action in 12 iconic venues will be broadcast to a potential TV audience of up to 1.03 billion, via broadcasters in over 40 territories across Europe and Worldwide. Venues will include Gymnastics at the SSE Hydro, the third busiest venue in the world, Golf at the famous Jack Nicklaus-designed Gleneagles PGA Centenary Course and Diving at Edinburgh’s Commonwealth Pool.

TV viewers will get the chance to see Scotland’s beautiful scenery through coverage of the Road Race and Time Trial events and Open Water Swimming at Loch Lomond and The Trossachs, while local residents and communities can watch from their doorsteps, for free.

Festival 2018 will offer around 100 unmissable events for the public as part of a world-class arts and culture programme being staged in Glasgow’s George Square, Merchant City, Perth, Stirling, East Dunbartonshire and Edinburgh.

EBU Director of Sport Stefan Kürten says "It is a very exciting time as we enter the 100 day countdown to the inaugural European Championships, with competition beginning first in Glasgow and then starting up in Berlin. The support and enthusiasm for this event has been extensive and the EBU is proud that so many broadcasters across Europe and Worldwide will be offering audiences top class coverage of the exciting summer sporting action so that millions of fans can be part of the magic."
