Here's the countdown to a historic and sporting milestone

From June 7-12, 2024, the continent’s best athletes will compete at the Olympic Stadium, Foro Italico Park and some of Rome’s most picturesque streets, 50 years after the European Athletics Championships were held in Rome in 1974 and for the third time ever in Italy after the first edition in Turin 1934.

The European Athletics Championships in Rome 2024 will precede the start of the Summer Olympic Games in Paris by a month and a half and will therefore represent a crucial competitive test for athletes ahead of the next Olympic event.
