As President of FIGeST, the Italian Federation of Traditional Games and Sports, first of all I want to express my thanks to the participants of the second edition of the Tafisa European Sport for All Games festival. I’d also like to thank all the technicians, companions, supporters and the people who will attend competitions and opportunity for interaction, meeting and conviviality.
For our big family it is truly an honor to be able to welcome this event in our wonderful land and allow many people to be able to approach sports that have made the history of sport, both in Italy and in the world.
In Perugia, and in the other towns involved in the initiative, partecipants from as many as 30 European countries and beyond, will be able to demonstrate and make known about fifty disciplines that have always been represented under our flag and that of the other federations.
This appointment will also be a great opportunity to visit the city of Perugia, the birthplace of Pinturicchio but also of the world-famous music festival “Umbria Jazz”, the city of Gualdo Tadino, with the important event of the “Giochi de le Porte”, and Gubbio, made fascinating by the “Ceri” historical commemoration, Assisi home of San Francesco, but also Todi, Foligno which is the city of the “Giostra della Quintana”, Spoleto cradle of the “Festival dei Due Mondi”, Orvieto, Narni heart of the Middle Ages, Terni city of San Valentino and of the Marmore waterfall.
Welcome to all of you and enjoy your stay in a wonderful land where hospitality is mixed with the high values of true sport made of conviviality, brotherhood, closeness and participation.

Dear Friends,
What a joy to once again meet and welcome you to the 2nd TAFISA European Sport for All Games 2022 in Perugia and Umbria, Italy!
The TAFISA Games have in the past years developed to become a formidable event that bridges tradition and modernity, and celebrates diversity and European values like no other. From 23 to 29 September, delegations from all over Europe will meet and engage with visitors, young and old alike, to re-discover and practice Traditional Sports and Games. From the Irish Gaelic Games to the Italian Lancio del Ruzzolone, from Georgian martial arts to the French Rouleurs de Barriques, participants will have the chance to immerse themselves in numerous European cultures.
The Games will this year be devoted to Peace, Solidarity and Common Understanding, in a world that has tremendously changed since our last event. TAFISA and FIGEST unite themselves at this occasion and invite you to join us and celebrate the values of Sport for All and Traditional Sports and Games in order to create, together, a better world.
I and the entire TAFISA Board of Directors look forward to seeing you soon in Perugia. Our gratitude goes to FIGEST for hosting the event, as well as to the dozens of volunteers who are making it possible.
Wolfgang Baumann
TAFISA President
