Kirolur. European Territory of Sport

What is Kirolur?
Kirolur: Kirola, lurra eta ura. Bizkaia is a territory that unites, alongside its sporting ecosystem, all the possibilities for people to participate in sport at every stage of their lives.
At the Bizkaia Provincial Council, our strategic mission is to ensure that taking part in sport becomes a lifelong habit for people, guaranteeing their quality of life. To this end, we lead the promotion of sport across all types of environments: organised, unstructured, conventional...seeking the most appropriate and accessible response for each individual.
To achieve this, our territory is supported by the best possible team: its sports system. This includes local councils, clubs, federations, companies, educational centres, universities and the health system, among others.
This system has its greatest asset: the people who form part of it, with the core values of Bizkaia’s society: cohesion, equality, inclusion, multiculturalism, solidarity and sustainability.
Thanks to these people, Bizkaia has been recognised as a European Region of Sport by ACES Europe in 2026. This recognition serves to highlight, strengthen and consolidate the outstanding work being done to adopt healthy, quality sporting habits by and for all the citizens of Bizkaia throughout their lives.
