Inverness and Augsburg sports exchange

About the exchange

We are marking 70 years of Inverness being twinned with Augsburg in Germany. As part of the celebrations, we are running a sports exchange with the Bavarian Sport Youth.

A group of 10 young people from Bavaria will visit Inverness from 30 May to 6 June 2026. They will learn about community sport in the Highlands and meet local clubs.

We will then take a group of 10 people from Inverness to Augsburg from 20 to 27 June 2026. The visit will focus on:

  • how sport is delivered in Bavaria
  • cultural exchange
  • sharing ideas and good practice
  • building links between sports clubs
