The Committee on Culture and Education (CULT) will adopt its report on the European Sport Model during its 16 July 2025 meeting. Drafted by Rapporteur Bogdan Zdrojewski (EPP), the report responds to growing threats such as commercialisation and foreign ownership, calling for stronger EU action to protect solidarity, good governance, and grassroots development.

Key proposals include clearer EU legal guidance, improved financial redistribution, and a new social dialogue committee for professional sport. The report also urges greater inclusion, transparency, and support for athletes and volunteers. A plenary vote is scheduled to take place in September 2025.
