ICCE Global Coaches Day 2026
It’s that time of year again as we prepare to celebrate ICCE Global Coaches Day on 25 September 2026.
Every year, this day recognises the incredible contribution coaches make to individuals, communities, and society. Whether they coach at the grassroots or elite level, in schools, clubs, or communities, millions of coaches around the world dedicate their time, energy, and passion to helping others grow through sport.
As part of European Week of Sport 2026, we invite everyone to take a moment to recognise and thank the coach who made a difference in their life.
Thank Your Coach
Who has inspired you? What made them special? What did they teach you? How did they help you grow, both in sport and in life?
Share your story on social media and help us celebrate coaches around the world using #ThanksCoach and #BeActive.

• Organise a special event to celebrate coaches in your community.
• Create a promotional video featuring athletes, participants, coaches, or volunteers sharing their appreciation.
