Mark your calendar! On 12 December at 4 PM, the Annual ACES Awards Gala will be held at the European Parliament in Brussels. This prestigious event will honour more than 60 cities from Europe, Asia and America across various categories, with Monaco recognised as the World Capital of Sport, Tallinn as the European Capital and Chihuahua as the American Capital, leading the ceremony.
More than 300 distinguished guests will gather in Brussels to celebrate sport, representing over 400 municipalities from around the world. This year's gala underscores the growing importance of the ACES network, which now encompasses approximately 5,500 cities globally.
“The influence of our titles grows stronger every year, as sport becomes a fundamental policy for local and regional governments. ACES has played an important role in that development,” said Gian F. Lupatelli, president and founder of ACES.
