Preparations for the 2027 La Francophonie Games (Jeux de la Francophonie), to be hosted in Armenia, are in full swing, Vivien Lubczanski, Director of the International Committee of the La Francophonie Games, said at a press briefing in Yerevan.

The official logo of the Games was unveiled at the event.

“I welcome the Armenian authorities’ commitment to preparing for the 10th International Francophonie Sports and Cultural Games. The presentation of the official Games logo is an important milestone, marking a new phase in the preparations. At this time, many countries and governments have already confirmed their participation in the Games, which reflects the trust in Armenia’s ability to host this important sporting event. For the International Organization of La Francophonie, the Games hold special significance—they are more than just a sporting and cultural event,” Lubczanski said.

He added that preparations are continuing in an atmosphere of mutual trust, with no obstacles.

“I assure you that we stand alongside Armenia to support the successful hosting of these Games. The Francophonie Games provide a platform for solidarity among Francophone youth, and I expect that all participating countries will discover Armenia in this light,” he emphasized.

The Games, a combination of artistic and sporting events, will be held in Armenia from July 23 to August 1, 2027. The opening ceremony will take place in Yerevan’s central plaza.

The official logo, presented on March 27, represents a harmonious fusion of cultural and artistic elements, based on the traditional Armenian symbol of eternity as a sign of continuity and endurance, as well as the circular motion of the Kochari dance, which embodies unity and strength. These foundations are reinterpreted through the influence of contemporary art, transforming human movement into a universal rhythm. The logo expresses energy, connection, and play, reflecting the essence of the Games as a continuous celebration of culture, sport, and participation.
