Panathlon International

Boletin Digital 18 Setiembre 2026

El fin de semana del 9 al 10 de octubre se realizó  la VII Ediciòn de los Juegos Deportivos de  UFEDEM (Unión de Federaciones y Entidades Deportivas Metropolitanas).

El primer día se realizaron los talleres deportivos en el Salón África del Parque Olímpico con la presencia de varios deportes como la esgrima, judo, badminton, skate, atletismo, Patin,  breaking, tiro con arco y cestobol, participando el Panathlon Club Buenos Aires, difundiendo los valores del deporte. 

A los alumnos de distintos colegios que concurrieron -entre ellos el colegio Lola Mora, varias escuelas técnicas de la región 5,  les intereso mucho jugar con el disco giratorio, y explicar los valores en el deporte y para la vida. 

Sus profesores también se interesaron en el trabajo del panathon, pidiendo algunos supervisores la posibilidad de nuestra presencia en las finales de los torneos intercolegiales. Estar presente en estos eventos deportivos visibiliza al movimiento panathlético y permite a los jóvenes estudiantes además de ver distintos deportes pensar en los valores que nos ofrece.

 On October 6, Panathlon Vlaanderen organized a debate on the aftermath of the 1985 Heysel disaster. The occasion was the premiere screening of the film Heyzel 85, in which director Teodora Ana Mihai reconstructs the disaster of May 29, 1985, where 39 people lost their lives.

The film stays away from the pitch and focuses on what happens behind the scenes—concentrating heavily on the outrage over chaotic preparations, a slow response, and an irresponsible power play. The main fictional characters are Marie, daughter and press spokesperson for the Mayor of Brussels, and Luca Rossi, a journalist. They are torn between their professional duty, family bonds, and the human tragedies unfolding before their eyes.

The organizers surrounding the final seem to view the stadium and ticket distribution as a purely logistical task. According to their logic, safety becomes a police matter rather than an organizational responsibility. The security forces, in turn, point to unclear orders and a lack of leadership. The unfortunate result is a situation where no one has a complete overview, yet no one dares to take control either. Local politics, embodied by the mayor, hides behind communication strategies and image management. The federal government keeps its distance, as if a major stadium in the capital were not a top priority. The outcome is a chain reaction where every link can shift blame to the next.

The film demonstrates that a disaster rarely has just one person to blame, but rather many people who fail to take responsibility. This makes its critique timeless, serving as a mirror for contemporary football politics. No matter how many well-intentioned measures clubs adopt today, the pattern remains. After Heysel, new laws and stadium bans were introduced, but the reflex remained purely reactive—action only follows an incident.

With every serious riot, the debate among clubs, cities, police, and responsible ministers repeats itself over who pays for what and who decides. Clubs, often severely limited in their scope of action, point to the police, cities point to the clubs, and higher government points to the cities. As a result, high-risk, high-cost matches become a dispute over expenses rather than a discussion about prevention. Stadium infrastructure also remains a political issue where decisions drag on for years, with Belgian building permit policies certainly sharing part of the blame.

The strongest point of the film is that the viewer sees the people who suffer the consequences: supporters, rescue workers, and family members. They have zero influence over the organizational structures that put them at risk.

Heysel 85 therefore advocates for a clear authority with ultimate responsibility and treats safety as a non-negotiable prerequisite, not a delayed reaction. Panathlon Flanders can only help spread this message—because every sports enthusiast has the right to a safe environment and a safe sporting experience.

7 de octubre - El Club Panathlon ha organizado el segundo encuentro virtual del programa del Panathlon «Caminando junto a los niños 2026», en el que participan tres colegios rurales de Maldonado.

En esta oportunidad, la charla estuvo a cargo de NAF Maldonado (Nadadores de Aguas Frías de Maldonado), con el tema “El mar nos invita, la seguridad nos cuida”, presentada por los panathletas del Club Álvaro, Eduardo y Elena.

Fue una experiencia muy enriquecedora, con una participación muy fluida y entusiasta de los niños. Y como hermosa devolución, una de las escuelas nos compartió los dibujos que realizaron a partir de lo que escucharon y vivieron en la charla.

Esto es justamente lo que buscamos con estas actividades: llegar a los niños, despertar su interés, transmitir valores y dejar algo que puedan llevarse con ellos.

Panathlon International welcomes with great satisfaction the establishment of three new clubs, a tangible sign of the Movement’s vitality and the continued spread of Panathlon values across the regions.

In Italy, the Panathlon Club Trapani Junior has been founded, becoming the 13th Italian Junior Club. This young and dynamic new club is particularly significant for the future of the Movement, as it is set to promote a sporting culture amongst the younger generations based on ethics, fair play, respect and responsibility.

Also in Italy, the Panathlon Club Valle Stura Liguria has been established, further strengthening Panathlon’s presence in the region and bringing the number of Ligurian clubs to 10. This is a significant achievement, confirming the Movement’s deep roots in the region and its commitment to continuing to promote, through sport, participation, education and civic engagement.

Panathlon International’s growth continues beyond European borders with the launch of the new Panathlon Club Hidalgo in Mexico. Its establishment represents a further step in the Association’s international development and reflects the growing interest in Panathlon’s principles and aims across the Americas.

We extend the warmest of welcomes to the new clubs into the Panathlon family, with our best wishes for a journey rich in initiatives, participation and commitment in the service of sport and its values.

« Arbitre : 1er supporter du match » du Panathlon Wallonie-Bruxelles reçoit le patronage de l’IFSO - International Federation for Sports Officials.

Sous la présidence de la Belge Gwenda Stevens, l’Assemblée générale de l’International Federation of Sports Officials, ainsi que plusieurs tables rondes thématiques consacrées à l’« Égalité des genres », à la « Diversité et inclusion » et à la « Psychologie et performance » se sont déroulées le 12 juin à Orléans, en France. Le maire de la ville, Serge Grouard, a quant à lui assisté aux différentes tables rondes.

Le président du Panathlon Wallonie-Bruxelles, Kole Gjeloshaj, a eu l’occasion de présenter la campagne « Arbitre : 1er supporter du match », soutenue par la Loterie Nationale Belge, afin d’obtenir le patronage de l’IFSO.

Depuis 2019, le Panathlon Wallonie-Bruxelles continue de placer les officiels du sport au cœur de ses différentes activités. Ce programme, lancé avec le soutien de la ministre des Sports Valérie Glatigny, qui en 2020 n’incluait que les sports d’équipe, s’inscrit dans la continuité de l’action « Siffler, c’est jouer », initiée en 2019.

La campagne 2026-2027 impliquera l’ensemble des membres du Panathlon Wallonie-Bruxelles et poursuivra les objectifs suivants :

- Mettre en valeur l’importance du rôle des officiels (juges, arbitres…)

- Encourager les arbitres à persévérer et à ne pas abandonner

- Susciter de nouvelles vocations et attirer de nouveaux officiels

- Sensibiliser l’entourage à l’adoption d’un comportement respectueux et approprié envers les arbitres.
