The 1991 European Youth Olympic Days (1991 EYOD) was the inaugural edition of a multi-sport event for European youths aged 13 to 18. It was held in Brussels, Belgium, from 12 to 21 July. A total of nine sports were contested by 2,084 athletes representing 33 European nations.[1][2] The idea for the competition came from Jacques Rogge, an International Olympic Committee member, as the continent did not have its own multi-sport event at the time.[3][4]
