Proud Champions is a European network of LGBTQ athletes and allies committed to a sport where everyone can be themselves. Proud Champions is supported by two associations: Fier-Play (France) and Compete Proud (Spain).
The network’s website features profiles of an initial 15 member athletes, all of whom have experience in elite sports. Some have now retired, while others are still competing.
They connect athletes from all walks of life, whether they are professional competitors or former athletes, and public figures around a common mission: to create visibility, inspire new generations, promote inclusion in sport, and make them proud of this diversity..
The launch of Proud Champions follows the successful staging of Pride House Paris at the 2024 Olympics and Paralympics. The Pride House Paris venue and wider initiative were supported by the International Olympic Committee and helped to provide greater LGBTQ visibility compared to previous editions of the Games.
Proud Champions provides a space where pride becomes a strength, where support can be found, and where inspiration is provided through example. Discover the faces and stories behind Proud Champions here.
