Dear EPC Member Nations

On behalf of EPC and LOC of EPYG22 I would like to invite you to the European Paralympic Youth Games, EPYG, which will take place in Lahti, Finland on June 27th to July 4th, 2022.

The EPC hopes to see many of you taking part in this competition that offers a great experience about international competition for young athletes. For many athletes EPYG is the first international competition but to all athletes it is a big step towards becoming an elite athlete. Besides tough but fair competition EPYG is also the place to make many new friends and get to know athletes from different sports across Europe.

Attached you will find the invitation package including all necessary information as well as the first entry form. The LOC of EPYG22 is happy to help you with any matters related to the event.

Yours Sincerely,
