participants and spectators engaged with the LYG Finals Festival across the weekend.

  • To celebrate our season, each July, we deliver the LYG Finals Festival; with the assistance of public, private, third and community sector organisations and volunteers, at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. 
  • Youngsters from every London borough assemble, showcasing their talents, forging new friendships, and engaging in thrilling competitions held in world-class Olympic Park venues.
  • We also run family-friendly festival activities outside venues such as the Copper Box Arena, complementing the competitions taking place across the venues.
  • We also amplify the London Youth Games’ experience through appearances like Christine Ohuruogu’s appearance at Finals Festival 2023. The London Youth Games Hall of Fame comprises of athletes who, following their Games experience, excel in both sport and life, and include world-class athletes Alex Yee, Dina Asher-Smith and Mo Farah.
It means a lot to a lot of young people to compete in an Olympic venue like this. When we were told we were playing at the Copper Box, I was shocked. This hosted the Olympics back in 2012, so it’s amazing to play where they were.
