The President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron has chosen to dedicate the great cause of the year to physical and sporting activity. “To encourage the French to include more sport in their daily lives, and to adopt less sedentary lifestyles, the Great Cause highlights a simple, unifying and accessible to all benchmark of 30 minutes of physical or sporting activity (APS ) daily, and the GCN2024 website (www.grandecause-sport.fr) will offer many ideas on how to do these 30 minutes,” specifies the ministry of sports in a press release this Monday.

By illuminating the Arc de Triomphe at 8 p.m. this Monday, Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, accompanied by GCN2024 partners and players from the sporting world, will symbolically kick off a series of 1000 significant operations, every month, before and after the Paris 2024 Games.

Among these operations, the Ministry of Sports mentions in particular the “Grande Dictée du sport whose final will be organized under the Dome of the Institut de France on March 30, the Heritage Loto which will devote resources to the preservation and restoration of sports sites, the organization of the Days for a Fit France which, in all regions, will combine conference-debates on the ravages of a sedentary lifestyle and sports workshops, and the Great Collection of used sports articles from individuals, for recycling and reuse purposes. »

Wednesday January 3 will be held the first event labeled GCN2024, an inclusive tournament organized on the occasion of the Champions Trophy of the Professional Football League, in partnership with the Play International Association, Licra and the Foundation for Inclusive Sport.

The Ministry of Sports specifies that “the GCN will rely throughout 2024 on a collective of sports activists (…) and on the testimonies of personalities from the world of sport: Tony Parker, Marie-Amélie Le Fur, Antoine Dupont, Estelle Mossely, Thierry Henry, Marie-José Pérec, Didier Deschamps, Amélie Mauresmo, Alexis Hanquinquant, Gaël Monfils, Selma Bacha, Cyril Gané… And committed actors such as Thierry Marx, Marine Ltemporel, Michel Cymes » .
