The European Multisport Club Association (EMCA)[1] is a sports organization representing the interests of multisport clubs in Europe.[2] It was created with an initiative of the multisport club S.S. Lazio.[3]

EMCA is also a partner of the House of Sport [4] and member of the European Platform for Sport Innovation.[5]

Purpose

The aim is the development and dissemination of sports, as a mean of psycho-physical and moral integrity, promoting the activities of the affiliated sports clubs operating on European scale and organizing projects, erasmus trips and events for the exchange of good practice, sports promotion, maintenance of the human body in shape and entertainment youth activities. Particular attention is given at the fight against doping, intolerance and violence, access to sport for people with disabilities, social inclusion of immigrants and gender equality.[6]

In the European sport system a significant role is played by multisport clubs, who – through their multiple involvement on a large variety of sports – understand better than anyone else the different social dimensions, impacts and needs of sports.[7]

Projects

EMCA organizes projects in association with erasmus trips, to promote, the Olympic Spirit, spread of values and civic behaviour, importance of physical activity, voluntary activities, integration of young refugees, multisport approach of young athletes and to report fraud, bribery, abuse, bullying and manipulated illegal sport betting.[8] Finally, particular interest represents the acquisition of new knowledge and skills, through teaching and education, for multisport coaches' development, helping kids choose the most suitable sport.[9]
