FGG Press Releases
On March 8, 2024, the Valencian City Council announced a new organizational committee structure for the Gay Games 2026 in which the number of votes for local LGBTQ+ entities is lower than what was originally discussed.
On Monday 19th February, in the middle of Football v Homophobia month, International Day Against Homophobia, (Biphobia and Transphobia) in Football is celebrated. This day commemorates the birthday of Justin Fashanu – the first professional UK footballer to come out as gay openly in the media.
On 14th July 2023 the UCI - the world governing body for sports cycling and oversees international competitive cycling events - decided that all “female transgender athletes who have transitioned after (male) puberty will be prohibited from participating in women’s events”.
As with the decision by Swimming’s governing sport body FINA and then by World Rugby (WRU), the Federation of Gay Games (FGG) condemns in the strongest possible terms the decision by World Athletics that has chosen to ban transgender women from competing in the female category at international events.
