For Christian Estrosi, rightly proud that Nice is the host city for this international event: “Our country must implement measures for the promotion of Physical and Sporting Activities in France aimed at the elderly… The Masters Games in Nice will thus be an example at the national level.”
Veteran athletes coming from the four corners of the globe.
For 11 days, these athletes from around the world will experience the multiple competitions and numerous festivities planned by the host city, such as the opening and closing ceremonies. A Games Village will be set up in the heart of the Promenade du Paillon, a 9-ha garden right in the center of Nice.

Sport-health, a major societal challenge.
Sport is a celebration, an entertainment, but also a public health issue. By 2030, 30% of the population will be over 60 years old. The cost of dependency, currently amounting to 23 billion euros per year, will pose an even greater financial burden for the country.
