Queer Sport Social
During the opening weekend of Pride 2026, our very first edition of the Queer Sport Social event will take place: the most “sporty” meeting place by and for the queer community and our allies.
A vibrant celebration of athleticism, love, and pride, organized in collaboration with Amsterdam’s rainbow sports associations, clubs, groups, and collectives. Whether you’re a top athlete, a beginner, or just want to chill or chat with old and new friends, this is where you celebrate Pride through sport, enjoying the festive Kick-Off of Pride Month from the field or from the comfort of a beanbag. Play, eat, drink, connect, and party with us!
Queer athletes, make yourselves heard!
Be one of the pioneers to spotlight queer sports in this festive way. Together, we’ll create a unique event where sport connects our community from all over the country. Think mini-tournaments, workshops, or demos.
This unique event takes place at the Ladderhuis in Westerpark, home of korfball club Sporting West.
There’s a large grassy field where we’ll set up stands to showcase various sports. We’ll also use the paved sports fields of Sporting West. Due to space, we’ll be creative with time and location. Cyclists and runners, for example, can start and finish at the event at one or more moments. Everyone gets a stage—no matter how big or small.
Invite Your Mates and Network
Everyone’s welcome, even if your association, club, collective, or group isn’t a participating organisation. Rally your teammates and mates, mobilise your network, and invite your rivals from across the country too. Together, we’ll make sure we kick off Pride Month with as many people as possible on 12th July. Stay tuned!
