Dear EOC friends, 

We are glad to present to you the Final Report of the 12th edition of the European Youth 

Olympic Festival. EYOF 2013 took place in the city of Utrecht, The Netherlands. 

It was an honour and a pleasure for us to organise this edition. We all worked very hard 

to arrange the best circumstances for the athletes, officials, referees, judges, members 

of the Olympic Family, special guests and all the spectators. When we extinguished the 

Olympic Flame on Friday 19 July 2013, we counted over 60,000 people as spectators 

of the event. This amount exceeded our expectations by far. During the last two days 

the stands were full at most venues. Even the weather helped to make this edition 

a success: during the whole week of the event we had beautiful, sunny weather. 

The first results of the external evaluation reports show that the athletes and visitors 

alike rated the event as very good. A percentage of 62% of the participants gave 

a rating of 8 or higher for the organisation of the Festival, on a scale from 1 – 10. 

Spectators gave an overall rating of 8 for EYOF Utrecht 2013. We are looking forward 

to receiving the final results in February 2014. 

By organising EYOF Utrecht 2013 we wanted to help the nearly 2,300 young European 

athletes to realize their dreams. We hope we succeeded. We also hope we infected 

most of them with the Olympic Virus and hope we see ‘our’ talents back in Rio, Tokyo or 

in even later editions of the Olympic Games. We hope they were inspired; they certainly 

inspired us this summer. 

We want to thank everyone who helped us to make EYOF Utrecht 2013 a success: 

EOC, City and Province of Utrecht, NOC*NSF, European Federations, the National 

Sport Federations and our official partner Achmea, sponsors and suppliers. But most 

of all we would like to thank our 2,150 Festival Makers. Without the huge commitment 

of our volunteers, this festival could not even have taken place. We would like to make 

a deep bow here for all our Festival Makers! 

Finally, we wish the organisers of next EYOF editions lots of good luck with the 

preparations and organisation. We hope they will enjoy it as much as we did! 

Many thanks and kind regards, 

Rinda den Besten Henny Smorenburg Pieter van den Hoogenband

1. GENERAL INTRODUCTION 

In 2013, the European Youth Olympic Festival (EYOF) was held 

in the city of Utrecht. The festival, based on an idea of former 

IOC President Jacques Rogge, already has a nice tradition 

as take-off/starting point for great sport careers.

EYOF UTRECHT 2013 

EYOF Utrecht 2013 was held from 14-19 July. During the 

festival, 2,271 athletes competed for gold in nine sports: 

athletics, basketball, handball, judo, tennis, gymnastics, 

volleyball, cycling and swimming. It was the first time cycling 

for girls took place at an EYOF. There were also more events in 

athletics than at any EYOF before. The event was held at seven 

different venues. In addition, a central meeting place, referred 

to as the EYOF-Achmea House was set up in the centre of town, 

at Neude Square. This in imitation of the Dutch hospitality 

houses at Olympic Games. 

EYOF Utrecht 2013 and EOC Flags on the Domtower 

With the support of the Province of Utrecht, Utrecht did not 

just want to offer the EYOF a platform on which young talented 

athletes could excel during a well organised event. Utrecht also 

wanted to turn the EYOF into an amazing experience for the 

people that live in the city and visitors of the event. They wanted 

to do so by emphasizing its social significance. Young talented 

athletes and elite sports events encourage a lot of (young) 

people to take up sports themselves. 

Together with the official partner Achmea, a side-events 

programme was set up in the run-up to the EYOF Utrecht 2013 

to emphasize the social significance of sport. The name of this 

side-events programme was the Achmea High Five Challenge 

(Achmea H5C). This programme included a link to the Treaty 

of Utrecht, to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Treaty 

of Utrecht in 2013. The signing of this Treaty back in 1713 was 

an important milestone for peace and collaboration within 

Europe. Utrecht, as well as the rest of Europe, celebrated 

this historic event in 2013. 

NETHERLANDS OLYMPIC COMMITTEE & NETHERLANDS 

SPORTS CONFEDERATION (NOC*NSF) 

The Netherlands Olympic Committee has the philosophy 

that sports bring us together. They strongly support their elite 

athletes and teams, who inspire us to challenge ourselves. 

In elite-level sports, it is their ambition to rank among the top-ten 

of sports countries in the world. 

UTRECHT – HISTORIC CITY WITH A BIG HEART 

Utrecht, a city of unparalleled vitality. A medieval city centre 

small enough to explore on foot, yet large enough to host 

world-class festivals, fashionable shops, modern architecture 

and fascinating museums. Friendly outdoor cafés and 

restaurants, welcoming hotels, Utrecht has it all. It is only thirty 

minutes from Schiphol airport and the whole of the Netherlands 

is just a short journey away.

PROVINCE OF UTRECHT 

Utrecht is not only a city, it’s also a province with the 

same name. In the heart of the country, the province is a hub 

in the Netherlands. It’s a green region, with the natural area 

of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug close to the city of Utrecht. 

The province has the country’s highest educated population 

and the biggest gross domestic product per capita. In fact the 

European Commission named Utrecht as the most competitive 

region of Europe for the second year running. 

EYOF Utrecht 2013 was an initiative of NOC*NSF (Netherlands 

Olympic Committee & Netherlands Sports Confederation) and 

the Municipality of Utrecht. The EYOF fitted perfectly with the 

ambitions of the city of Utrecht – and also of The Netherlands - 

to organise international sporting events and raise the city’s elite 

sports profile. Utrecht very much wants to be a city that provides 

a platform for talent in the Netherlands in various fields, including 

sports. Its well organised recreational sports facilities are an 

example of such a platform. Together with its partners and 

experts from the field, Utrecht promotes optimum interaction 

between elite sports and recreational sports. 

The following mission statement was agreed by EYOF 

Utrecht 2013: 

The successful organisation of EYOF 2013 in Utrecht by 

providing a festive platform for young top-class sports 

talent to shine and for The Netherlands to promote itself 

as a genuinely sports-minded country with the ambition 

and talent to organise large-scale sports events.

2. TIMELINE 

ROAD TO EYOF 

UTRECHT 2013 

In 2007, the Municipality of Utrecht and NOC*NSF decided 

to put in a bid for EYOF 2013. They had already put in a bid 

for EYOF 2011 two years earlier. That particular bid was won 

by Trabzon in Turkey. 

On 22 November 2008, Utrecht won the bid to organise EYOF 

2013 at the EOC conference in Istanbul.

Contract with both organisations. 

FOUNDATION 

NOC*NSF and the Municipality of Utrecht founded the 

EYOF Utrecht 2013 Foundation for the actual organisation 

of the event. The Board was assisted by an Advisory Board 

in which important partners – who were not on the board – 

were represented. 

BOARD 

The foundation was run by a Board made up of representatives 

from NOC*NSF, the city and province of Utrecht. The Board 

gave a strong mandate to the CEO and Tournament Director. 

(Tournament Director - Pieter van den Hoogenband and CEO 

Henny Smorenburg from September 2011, before that 

Gerrit van Rijssen was responsible). CEO and Tournament 

Director were put in charge of the actual organisation of the 

event. They both attended the board meetings. The Board 

met 21 times and was informed about the progress of all aspects 

of the organisation during these meetings. The Board met on 

a daily basis during the EYOF week.

WORKING ENVIRONMENT AND FACILITIES 

The organisation of the EYOF Utrecht 2013 set up office 

in a building of the Municipality of Utrecht. 

PROJECT STRUCTURE 

During earlier sports events organised in The Netherlands, it 

became clear that the organisation of a major event is something 

that involves several management dimensions. It calls for tight 

operational management, but also for sensitive entourage 

management and successful commercial management. 

This earlier experience was utilized in the development of the 

project plan for the EYOF Utrecht 2013. A project structure 

based on three main themes was developed, namely public 

affairs, operational affairs and commercial affairs. It was 

possible to define different clusters per main theme, which 

were worked out in more detail in a sub-project level. 

The Model Approach to Events formed the basis for this. 

This is the approach that NOC*NSF recommends to Dutch 

sports federations that are organising elite sports events.

LEGAL ASPECTS 

During the contracting phase, contracts were made by a lawyer 

who was familiar with the sports sponsors. The remaining 

contracts were drawn up and supervised by a lawyer of the 

municipality of Utrecht. At the end of 2013, there are no legal 

cases against EYOF Utrecht. 

INSURANCE 

As required by the Host City Contract for the 12th EYOF in 

Utrecht, the Organising Committee arranged the following 

insurances for all participating NOC delegations: 

Third party liability (personal injury and material damage) 

• Basic medical costs and individual accidents (permanent 

disability, consequential damage, cost of medical treatment). 

All NOCs were nevertheless strongly advised to take out 

adequate (travel) insurance for the members of their delegations. 

PUBLIC LIABILITY 

The Organising Committee did not provide public liability 

insurance for NOCs, and were not responsible for any acts 

or omissions by the NOCs, their athletes and officials. NOCs 

were recommended to take out their own liability insurance. 

PARTICIPATION FEE AND DEPOSIT 

The participation fee was € 65 per person per day (incl. 6% VAT). 

The total stay was seven days. The fee included full board and 

lodging and services in Olympic Villages, transportation from 

Amsterdam Schiphol Airport to the accommodation and back 

to the airport, shuttle service to and from the venues. The entry 

by number (28 February 2013) was the financial commitment for 

NOCs. In practice the deadline was not respected by all NOCs. 

The deposit was € 90 per person with a maximum of € 5,400 per 

delegation. The payment of the deposit was a guarantee for any 

damage caused to equipment and infrastructure. The Organising 

Committee sent a first instalment invoice by the end of March 

2013 and a final invoice (2nd instalment and deposit) in early 

June 2013, all based on the information stated by the NOCs 

on their entry by number form. However changes in the financial 

commitments were accepted well after the agreed deadline of 28 

February 2013. 

The deposit was returned to the NOCs in the beginning 

of October after deduction possible charges. The amount 

of damages was very limited (€ 1,092).

needed a special visa for a stay of up to 90 days if they were a 

national of one of the following countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, 

Belarus, Georgia, Republic of Moldova, Russian Federation, 

Turkey and Ukraine. 

CUSTOMS 

Standard custom procedures, laws and regulations of 

the Netherlands applied during EYOF Utrecht 2013 for the 

importation of sports and medical equipment and other goods. 

NOCs doctors accompanying the teams, had to show to the 

Dutch Customs a document stating that these goods and 

equipment were intended for the athletes. 

There were no problems with visa nor custom procedures before 

or during EYOF Utrecht 2013.

9. COMMUNICATION & MARKETING 

10 July 

Inspiration session for Festival Makers – Galgenwaard Stadium

Torch Relay, started with a press conference for children 

Due to the high numbers of visitors to the website, the website 

was very slow during the event. In the week of the EYOF 

Utrecht 2013 a migration to a platform with a bigger capacity 

was undertaken. 

HOW TO ACHIEVE THE COMMUNICATION OBJECTIVE? 

The top 5 of actions we took to achieve the EYOF Utrecht 2013 

communication objective: to contribute to a successful

5. Increase visibility 

The EYOF was an unknown event. To ensure that sufficient 

tickets were sold, it was absolutely essential to draw attention 

to the event both nationally and internationally. As many different 

channels and media as possible were used to improve the 

visibility of the event, ranging from a clearly recognisable house 

style to guerrilla marketing, the use of mascot Youthie, A2, A3 

and AO posters, Z-Cards, a countdown clock to city dressing 

and collecting the Olympic Flame from Greece, a gold medal 

with a drop of ‘Good Gold’ and campaigns using print and social 

media to setting up the EYOF/Achmea House at Neude. 

1. Uniform message and concept 

A single message was formulated which was to be conveyed 

in all activities. The overall theme of EYOF Utrecht 2013 was 

‘Celebrate Talent!’. This communication message was based 

on the central theme: talent. From the talent of the participants 

in the EYOF (upcoming top athletes) right through to the talent 

of the children being introduced to a new sports or branches 

of sport during the Achmea High Five Challenge. The aim was 

to draw people’s attention to talent in words and images as 

much as possible. This was worked out in more detail in the 

concept old heroes/young heroes. The symbol of a ‘High Five’ 

was the connecting factor between the activities and the 

translation into the image of ‘Celebrate Talent’.

2. Milestones in the run-up to EYOF Utrecht 2013 

A number of specific milestones, PR moments, were defined in 

the run-up to the EYOF. The activities of the Achmea High Five 

Challenge: Urban Tour, the Sports Days, school clinics and the 

Torch Relay Games played an important role in this. In addition 

to the milestones around the AH5C, the following milestones 

were defined for 2013: 

22 January 

Media café - for national and regional (sports) journalists 

3. ‘Old’ hero/icon as visible tournament director 

Tournament director of the EYOF Utrecht 2013, Pieter van 

den Hoogenband, charismatic three times Olympic swimming 

champion with international allure and also an ‘old’ hero/icon 

was used to attract as much media attention as possible. 

A media plan was drawn up. Interviews in the written media 

and on radio and television took place around the milestone 

of the EYOF Utrecht 2013.

4. Social media as an important instrument 

In light of the fact that the target group was largely made up 

of young people, the rapid development of technology and 

the limited budget available, extensive use was made of social 

media during the EYOF Utrecht 2013. The objective to become 

the ‘most interactive EYOF ever’ had already been formulated in 

2011. In addition to www.utrecht2013.com, Twitter, Facebook, 

YouTube and Instagram, a special EYOF App was used. 

All social media (also) drew attention to the website. Live streams 

during EYOF were used to increase the number of visits to the 

site. The rules of the various platforms were scrutinized and 

these were complied with. The target groups for the various 

social media were determined beforehand. 

2. Radio and television 

TV broadcasts during EYOF Utrecht 2013: 

• Opening Ceremony - regional television covered the whole 

event live. National television: 5 x item in news/current 

affairs programmes 

• Daily: National Television: 6 broadcasts - 4 minutes.

The estimated Media Value of EYOF Utrecht 2013 is 

approximately 2,5 million euros. 

OBJECTIVE 

Initially the aim was to produce daily summaries for Eurosport 

of at least 30 minutes each on account of an EOC contractual 

obligation. This obligation ceased to apply in May 2013 because 

Eurosport decided not to enter into an agreement with EOC. 

Objectives changed at that point and it was decided to opt for 

an online objective. 

The most important objectives were: 

• maximum video coverage of all events to provide those 

with a direct interest, such as stakeholders, relatives, and 

fellow-athletes across the globe with full information; 

• generate maximum general interest with the aid of social 

media; 

• in addition to just sport also draw attention to the backgrounds 

to the event; 

• provide optimum assistance to guest media through host 

broadcast production partner; 

acquiring images that other media can use free of charge; 

• regional media pressure to draw attention to the event and 

stimulate ticket sales; 

• achieve the most interactive EYOF to date. 

THE PRODUCTION 

In order to achieve these objectives it was explicitly decided 

to opt for a specific production approach. The most important 

choices were: 

• opening Ceremony multi-camera and live registration to 

be broadcast live on RTV Utrecht and to offer to other media; 

• during the event: use of lots of solo camera teams to be mobile 

and to be able to cover many different elements per team; 

• daily livestream (2 cameras) of most important competition(s) 

of that day with a different sport each day to increase traffic 

to the website and to have ‘live’ content available; 

• at least 40 videos online per day (total 220 videos), to be put 

online as quickly as possible, to increase reach and coverage; 

• production of a half hour summary per day, online from 

midnight in 2 languages; 

daily live morning talkshow on RTV Utrecht 

• fully operational collaboration with RTV Utrecht with respect 

to production and exchange of images. 

Live talk show from the EYOF Achmea House 

PUBLICATION 

Video on demand 

YouTube was selected as the platform. The reason behind 

this choice being its popularity, link with Google and social 

integration. All videos were embedded into EYOF’s own website. 

Traffic was always directed to this and not directly to the 

YouTube channel. 

The EOC guidelines obliged the OC to use the EOC YouTube 

channel. 

To draw more attention to the videos, frequent reference was 

made to them on Twitter and Facebook. Facebook in particular 

appeared to be an essential part of the coverage objective. 

Livestream 

Livestream.com was used for the livestreams. There are many 

advantages to using this platform. It is HD, has one-off costs 

(€ 300 all in), unlimited number of livestreams, worldwide and 

unlimited coverage, social integration and its own social 

function. 

Posts 

During the event a special team produced and distributed 

the following: 

Daily previews, including facts & figures 

• Daily recaps, including: 

o Results of the competition 

o Notes by athletes 

o Highlights 

o Special news 

o News and ‘in the spotlight’ 

The article “Event Review – Russia continues EYOF domination” 

of Friday 19 July was the last of a total number of 435 articles to 

be posted on the website during the EYOF Utrecht 2013 

Video on Demand 

• 1 live opening show, broadcast live by RTV-Utrecht and 

livestream and fragments broadcast in all important 

Dutch media. 

• 5 live talk shows on RTV-Utrecht from EYOF Achmea House 

at Neude 

5 summaries of 30 min+ each in English and Dutch 

1 event summary of 50 min in English and Dutch 

• 6 livestreams 

295 YouTube VOD videos 

The videos on YouTube have been viewed a total of 237,365 

(September 2013) times by the general public. That represents a 

total of 344,068 minutes of viewing time. It is expected that these 

figures will rise in the coming months. The highlight shows have 

the most views. 

The majority of viewers came from the Netherlands. 

The coverage was worldwide, but most of the people who 

viewed the videos were from European countries. The number 

of views by people from outside Europe is fairly remarkable. 

The most important reason for this is that a number of videos 

were placed on large foreign sports blogs. 

56.5% of those who viewed the videos were male and 43.5% 

female. What is striking is that in the Netherlands, Italy, France, 

Germany, Hungary, England, Spain and Ireland, the majority of 

people who viewed the videos were aged between 45 and 54. 

Playback: close to 37% of all videos were viewed in an embedded 

player on other websites, in particular, utrecht2013.com 

and Facebook.

Day 4 Gymnastics WAG Allround: 18,104 

Day 5 Swimming (Semi) Finals Boys & Girls: 8,667 

The reach of the livestreams was considerable higher than 

initially anticipated. That is partly because the livestreams could 

also be seen on the home page of utrecht2013.com. As a result 

every visitor was included as a viewer.

was to have a very tangible means of communication that 

speaks to the imagination, which can be used at numerous 

side events.

OBJECTIVE 

The sports venues were one of the most important showpieces 

of EYOF Utrecht 2013. Therefore it was of high importance, that 

they were well organised and had the right look and feel. 

PROCESS 

A contract was drawn up between EYOF Utrecht 2013 and the 

individual Dutch sports federations. It stipulated that the sports 

federations were responsible for organising the sports related 

aspects and EYOF for the facilities and layout. The sports 

federations were asked to provide a full overview of the materials 

present and required per sport and of the layout of the venue 

at an early stage. 

By centrally purchasing the bulk of the materials an element 

of unity was created between the venues when it came to 

equipment and image. It also led to clear savings.

The competitions and training sessions for the nine sports took 

place in seven venues. 

In May 2012, the Technical Delegates, with the exception of 

those for gymnastics, visited Utrecht. The seven venues and two 

Olympic Villages were visited. The Technical Delegates provided 

the Dutch sports federations and the organising committee with 

valuable information on the basis of which the organisation could 

be further optimised. Both Technical Delegates from the UEG 

were unable to attend the May visit. This visit successfully took 

place in mid-September 2012. 

In mid-2012, consultation was started with the sports 

federations on the organisation of EYOF test events.

The Maarschalkerweerd Athletics Track was a new athletics 

track completed in 2011. Four extra sprinting lanes and an 

additional long jump pit were built alongside the athletics track 

for warm-up purposes. Athletes could also warm up using 

an artificial turf field next to the athletics track or the facilities 

on the athletics track. This was sufficiently taken into account 

in the competition and training programme. 

Temporary stands were also placed along the fully equipped 

8-lane athletics track. The total capacity was 1,500 seats. 

The venue had its own catering areas for visitors, a medical area

< 1 km to Olympic Village II, University College 


The Krommerijn swimming pool is a new pool, completed in 

December 2012. In this 8-lane, 50-metre swimming pool with 

a retractable roof the first test event was held at the end of 

January 2013. After the test event the pool was definitively 

approved by the Technical Delegate from LEN. 

De Krommerijn Swimming Pool had a grandstand with a 

capacity for 250 people that was used for participants. 

Temporary grandstands were used for another 400 people. 

For warming up a temporary pool was in use right next to 

De Krommerijn Swimming Pool. 

OBJECTIVE 

The objective within this cluster was twofold: 

• to organise and provide medical specialists (sports doctors) 

during the training and competition days at the venues and 

in the Olympic Villages, as well as making agreements with 

the partners concerned, including hospitals and ambulances 

services. 

• to carry out 50 doping tests during the EYOF 2013 in line with 

the criteria laid down by the EOC and to select an accredited 

doping laboratory.

TENNIS 

Den Hommel Tennis Park 






Den Hommel Tennis Park had 16 Pro Vision tennis courts. 

Pro Vision is an all weather artificial clay court, with the same 

characteristics as a normal gravel court. A temporary grandstand 

was built in order to create a centre court on one of the tennis 

courts. This centre court had a seating capacity for 700 people. 

The remaining 14 courts were used for competition and training. 

These remaining courts had no seating capacity. 

Den Hommel Tennis Park had its own dressing rooms and 

catering area. A restroom for players, an office for the LOC and 

for Tennis Europe were also available Temporary facilities were 

built on Den Hommel Tennis Park in order to provide appropriate 

medical services. 

Volleyball - Jaarbeurs Utrecht 

VOLLEYBALL 







Just as for handball, the competitions and training for boys and 

girls took place in halls 1 and 3 of Jaarbeurs Utrecht. All facilities 

that are required for the competitions and training to take place 

in accordance with the requirements of the European Volleyball 

Federation were temporarily installed. 

The competition courts each had a stand capacity of 900 seats. 

Temporary changing rooms with showers and a washbasin were 

also being installed in hall 1, which were used during both 

competitions and training. 

Jaarbeurs Utrecht had a medical area. An office will be set 

up for the European Volleyball Confederation and the LOC. 

A communal volunteer area was available for handball, volleyball 

and judo, which was also used by referees. 

MEDICAL SPECIALISTS 

Doctors 

There was a doctor permanently present in Olympic Village II 

and a doctor on call in Olympic Village I and II. 

Physiotherapists 

During the EYOF physiotherapists and trainee physiotherapists 

were present in Olympic Village II from 8:00 to 17:00 hours. 

At the request of the tennis association there was also a 

physiotherapist present at the tennis venue. 

Medical manual 

The medical manual was a clear source of information for all 

medical stakeholders of the NOCs and EYOF Utrecht 2013. 

Injury registration 

In the Medical Manual and during the Medical meeting team 

doctors, sports doctors and physiotherapists were asked to 

complete daily injury registration forms. These were available 

(in 5 languages) from the various medical rooms and from the 

NOC Service Centre in Olympic Village I. 

Medical rooms 

At each venue there was a medical room available for the sports 

doctor and the First Aid team. At the tennis venue there was also 

a separate room available for the physiotherapist. In addition 

there was a central medical unit at Olympic Village II. This unit 

was made up of a room for the First Aid team/doctor and a room 

for the physiotherapists. Medical rooms for the First Aid team 

were also available in the other Olympic Villages. In addition to 

the sports doctors and the doctor and on call doctor in the 

Olympic Villages, various doctors’ surgeries and pharmacies, 

a dental surgery, the St. Antonius hospital and the University 

Medical Centre Utrecht (UMC) could be called upon, if 

necessary, as they were informed about EYOF Utrecht 2013. 

Agreements were put in place with them so that athletes could 

be referred to them. 

Doping control 

A doping room was set up at Athletics Track Maarschalkerweerd, 

in the Jaarbeurs Utrecht and for the cycling event at Het Lint. 

In April 2013 a Doping Controls coordinator (DCO) was 

appointed who prepared the doping tests in consultation with 

the Netherlands Doping Authority. As part of these preparations, 

an information session was held for the chaperones prior to 

EYOF Utrecht 2013. During EYOF Utrecht 2013 the project 

coordinator saw to the coordination of the doping controls in 

collaboration with the Leading DCO of the Doping Authority.

15. TICKETING 

Full stands promote the prestige of a multi sports event. 

The objective of ticketing was therefore to create attractive 

stadiums in which young athletes could give top performances. 

The ticketing objective was based on the following principles: 

• to attach value to the event it was decided to charge an entry 

fee. It was also necessary to do so from a security point of 

view (to exclude the possibility of overcrowding). 

• for security purposes it was important to get an idea of the 

visitor streams, which is why it was important to encourage 

advance ticket sales. 

• the target was to sell at least 11,000 tickets for the 

competitions and 7,500 tickets for the opening Ceremony. 

A well filled stadium was more important than a high turnover. 

TICKET TYPES AND PRICES 

To keep the ticket sales as simple as possible, it was decided 

to opt for day tickets per sport at a fixed price of € 10. These day 

tickets provided access to a particular sport on a specific day. 

The only exception to this was the swimming event, because 

of the capacity of the pool and anticipated demand. The cycling 

competitions were free of charge. 

From a commercial perspective it was decided to opt for 

separate day tickets for the handball, volleyball and basketball 

competitions for boys and girls. This increased the maximum 

number of seats that could be sold and therefore also the 

maximum turnover that could be achieved. 

In addition to day tickets it was also possible to buy passpartouts 

per sport. This enabled visitors to go to all of the 

competitions of the relevant sport at a small discount.

TARGET GROUPS 

For the EYOF Utrecht 2013 four important target groups were 

defined for the ticket sales: 

Family members and friends of the participating athletes 

• 

People living in The Netherlands and more specific in the 

region Utrecht 

• Students 

• 

Sports lovers/members of the participating sports 

associations 

SEATING 

It was decided to opt for free seating. In addition to free stand 

seats, a number of places was reserved at each venue for 

athletes & companions, family & friends, media and VIPs. 

SALES 

Two months before the start of EYOF Utrecht 2013 the online 

ticket sales started on utrecht2013.com. The tickets were sold 

via a fully integrated ticket shop. Several other sales channels 

were subsequently created. After ordering a ticket the buyer 

received an e-ticket by e-mail which contained a unique 

barcode. The ticket had to be printed out and taken along 

to the venue where it was scanned. By way of an environmentally 

friendly alternative, buyers were offered the possibility to have 

a barcode sent to their mobile phone. 

During the event, actual tickets were also sold at the venues. 

In the run-up to EYOF Utrecht 2013, various discount schemes 

were set up by the sports associations for their members, the 

Municipality of Utrecht made free tickets available for students 

and, for marketing purposes, various other discount campaigns 

were set up to stimulate ticket sales.

The disadvantage of day tickets is that the stadium is never 

100% full. Most people do not stay and watch a whole day but 

only come in for certain events (in the case of individual sports) 

or a particular competition (in the case of team sports). It would 

have been preferable to have sold more session tickets. 

Unfortunately it was not possible to do so, because of the 

competition schedule. There was not enough time between 

events/competitions to get everybody out of the stadium and 

let new visitors in.

16. ICT 

OBJECTIVE 

The EYOF ICT project consisted of providing ICT facilities during 

the EYOF Utrecht 2013 at the best possible quality/price ratio. 

This included infrastructure, hardware, systems as well 

as services. 

EYOF SCORE SYSTEM 

Agreements were made between EYOF Utrecht 2013 and the 

nine national sports federations involved to use the federation’s 

existing score systems. An interface was built by EYOF to make

the scores visible on the website utrecht2013.com. However, 

during the EYOF Utrecht 2013 it became apparent that some 

federations delivered the data in different formats than agreed 

upon and therefore some data were posted with some delays. 

During EYOF Utrecht 2013 it became clear that starting lists 

were a must have on the website. It is therefore necessary 

to build an application beforehand.

17. TRANSPORT 

18. ACCOMMODATIONS 

different hotels. A total of three Olympic Villages were used to 

accommodate the 3,150 athletes and officials from 13 to 20 July 

2013. Olympic Village I and II were situated in the east of Utrecht 

respectively 6.5 km and 5.5 km from Utrecht City Centre. 

Travel time between the two Villages was about five minutes 

(approximately three kilometres) by EYOF Utrecht 2013 shuttle 

bus. Olympic Village III was situated in the west of Utrecht and 

within walking distance from the Jaarbeurs and the Utrecht 

City Centre. Travel time to Olympic Village I and II was about 

20 minutes by the EYOF shuttle bus. 

OBJECTIVE 

Identifying, planning and organising the transport requirements 

of the target groups entitled to use the transport facilities prior to, 

during and after the event; regulating the transport flows around 

the venues. 


During EYOF Utrecht 2013 all accredited individuals had access 

to the EYOF Utrecht 2013 Transport Network which linked all 

competition and official non-competition venues. The Transport 

Network started on 13 July 2013 11:00 hours and from 14-19 

July from 7:00 hours until 30 minutes after the last training or 

competition at the venues. The Network was divided in shuttle 

lines (4 lines) and dedicated lines to venues or to the official 

non-competition venues (7 lines). In addition dedicated buses 

for volleyball, handball and basketball were available for the 

NOCs which participated in these sports. 

Arrival at Schiphol Airport 

AND RECOMMENDATIONS 

Bus transport 

The overall planning of the bus transport should be done by a 

sufficient number of staff. Especially the transportation planning 

for the team sports (volleyball, handball and basketball) needs 

special attention, as it can be more difficult for bigger groups 

to stick to the transportation schedule. 

OLYMPIC VILLAGES 

In the bid phase it had already been decided that the 

athletes would stay in student accommodation, divided over 

two Olympic Villages: Utrecht Science Park/De Uithof (Olympic 

Village I) and University College (Olympic Village II). At both 

locations short stay student accommodation and regular student 

accommodation was supposed to be used. In the end, the latter 

appeared not to be possible, which resulted in a capacity 

problem for approximately 500 people. 

In consultation with the EOC EYOF commission temporary 

accommodations were suggested as a sound solution, however 

in a later state, during the Chef de Mission seminar (end of April 

2013), it became clear that this solution was not suitable for the 

athletes. It was therefore decided to set up a third Olympic 

Village: the NH Hotel Utrecht. This meant that alternative hotel 

accommodation had to be found for referees, judges and key 

Festival Makers who had originally been booked at this hotel. 

This resulted in quite a few target groups being moved to 

OLV I 

In Olympic Village I approximately 1,000 athletes and officials 

were accommodated in student housing and were housed in 

1, 2 and 3-person rooms spread over three blocks. Apartments 

or multi-room units were used. Every apartment had its own 

bathroom with shower, toilet and washbasin and the ratio 

varied depending on the number of rooms and occupants per 

apartment. Most apartments and multi-room units had a ratio 

of one bathroom for every four participants. In some other 

cases ratio was one bathroom for every five or six occupants. 

The Campanna block rooms were too small for three athletes 

and therefore this facility was not ideal. 

NOCs housed at Olympic Village I had use of its own restaurant, 

NOC offices and First Aid station. The NOC Services Centre, 

Main Accreditation Centre and Sports Information Desks were 

also located in Olympic Village I. The Chefs de Mission meetings, 

most of the Technical meetings and the Medical meetings took 

place in Olympic Village I. 

OLV II 

In Olympic Village II, student housing accommodated approximately 

1,700 people in combination of 1, 2 and 3-person rooms. 

Apartments or multi-room units were used. Every apartment had 

its own bathroom with shower, toilet and washbasin and the ratio 

Dedicated cars were available at the Grand Hotel Karel V 

to transport the EOC President, EOC Vice President, EOC 

Secretary General, EOC EYOF Commission Chairman, members 

of the EYOF Coordination Commission and Technical Delegates. 

Transport by car on request was granted to NOC Presidents and 

Secretaries General (subject to availability) and EOC staff based 

on their accreditation privileges. 

CONCLUSIONS 

Required 

120 drivers (three shifts a day) 

30 dedicated / VIP cars 

4 Cargo vans 

35 Minivans 

3 bus company venue coordinators per shift 

2 bus company flying squad coordinators 

8 EYOF venue coordinators 

• 4 EYOF flying squad coordinators 

During virtually the entire week of EYOF Utrecht 2013, the bus 

lines didn’t run according to the timetable. Instead they run more 

or less continuously throughout the tournament. The preparation 

should have been better. This could be achieved, amongst other 

things, by giving the drivers who were on duty good briefings, 

clear route descriptions and clear departure times. As a result 

of the change in the organisation just before EYOF it was 

impossible to facilitate smooth running transport for the start 

of EYOF Utrecht 2013. 

Cars and minivans 

It is of greatest importance to identify the transportation needs 

of all target groups early in the planning and, as a consequents, 

create optimal conditions for these groups during the event. 

The same assessment should be done for the different events 

of the EYOF (for example medal ceremonies) to make clear what 

capacity is required. 

For the VIP transport, as for all the other groups, clear and 

uniform rules should be established and abide and communicated 

in a unequivocally manner. The rules should be followed 

by everyone; drivers, back office staff, volunteers and guests. 

Clear transport rules and regulations help to create a friendly 

and pleasant atmosphere and smooth operations.

varied depending on the number of rooms and occupants per 

apartment. Most apartments and multi-room units had a ratio 

of one bathroom for every four participants. In some other 

cases this ratio was one for every five or six occupants. 

NOCs housed at Olympic Village II could make use of their 

own restaurant, NOC office and First Aid station. 

OLV III 

In Olympic Village III, the NH Hotel Utrecht, accommodated 

approximately 500 athletes and officials in 1, 2 or 3-person 

rooms. Each room had its own bathroom with bath or shower, 

toilet and washbasin. The ratio depended on the number of 

occupants per room. NOCs accommodated at Olympic Village III 

could make use of their own restaurant, NOC office and First Aid 

station.

HOTELS 

During the bid phase an option was taken on several hundred 

hotel rooms in Utrecht for EYOF Utrecht 2013. Once the EYOF 

2013 had been awarded to Utrecht, HOST, an umbrella 

organisation for hotels in Utrecht, was contacted. 

The Olympic Family and Technical Delegates were able to 

register via a form on the NOC login page on utrecht2013.com. 

EYOF did not reserve any rooms for the other target groups, 

including visitors. These service was out-sourced to the tourist 

board of the city of Utrecht and rooms were offered to the other 

target groups via utrecht2013.com. 

A project coordinator was appointed to deal with the hotels. 

Based on the information provided in the forms on the NOC 

login page of our website, this project coordinator informed the 

relevant hotels about the arrival and departure dates of the target 

groups in question. A great many changes were received in the 

number of people coming and the arrival and departure dates 

after the accreditation system was closed at the end of June.

In addition to the personalised accreditations, other forms 

of accreditation were used that granted special or additional 

access rights: 

VAPPS: right to use a parking space at the sports venue 

Day pass: one-off access to a specific sports venue 

• Emergency Access pass: one-off access to a specific sports 

venue for athletes, in case of emergencies (athlete has to 

participate in an event but has lost his or her accreditation) 

• Proxy card: right to collect information from the Sport 

Information Desk 

• Working Pass: access to a sports venue for an extra team 

official (no access to the Olympic Village). 

Bedrooms/dormitories in the Olympic villages 

PLANNING AND RECOMMENDATIONS 

It is essential to use the IOC country abbreviations for all 

accreditations as mismatches can cause delays. The production 

of the EYOF Utrecht 2013 accreditations had been scheduled 

for June 2013. Due to an incorrect country code 1,000 

accreditations had to be reprinted and caused delays. 

As far as the technical side of the accreditation process is 

concerned, it is advisable to work with a carefully tested system 

and to not separate the collection of accreditation data from the 

production. The transfer of information from system A to system 

B creates an interim step which is likely to lead to mistakes. 

Moreover, several useful functions of the software module 

were not used by the EYOF as a result. These include ‘remote 

access’; which gives certain target groups remote access to 

the system so that they can enter their information into the 

accreditation system directly. 

COMPOSITION OF SAFETY AND SECURITY DURING 

EYOF 2013 UTRECHT 

EYOF Utrecht 2013 worked in close cooperation with the 

relevant Dutch authorities to ensure a pleasant, safe and secure 

Festival. The relevant authorities were responsible for the safety 

and security outside the EYOF premises, whilst the EYOF staff 

took care of this within the venues and Olympic Villages. 

Safety & Security teams operated at the venues and Olympic 

Villages. The teams were in place at the venues when these 

were in operation for training and competition purposes whilst 

the presence at the Olympic Villages was on a 24/7 basis. 

They were supervised and assisted by the Safety & Security HQ. 

There were a couple of challenging situations. The biggest 

problem involved a lack of clarity among the employees from the 

Ministry of Defence and the Local Managers. This was reinforced 

by the problems surrounding the Accreditation. 

OLYMPIC VILLAGES & VENUES 

Part of Olympic Village I (accommodation, meeting rooms and 

restaurant) and the whole of Olympic Village II was surrounded 

by perimeter fences. The areas within these fences were 

accessible for holders of the applicable accreditation only. 

NH Hotel Utrecht was used as Olympic Village III. The hotel 

had its own security personnel and a well organised security 

organisation. 

All EYOF Utrecht 2013 venues with the exception of Het Lint 

(cycling) were within enclosed spaces or areas and featured 

security provision. 

Taking care of exhausted cyclist 


During the EYOF the total number of people for Safety & Security 

went up from 2 to approximately 450 people.

THE ACHMEA HIGH FIVE 

CHALLENGE 

De Urban Tour is een echte sportarena:

The side-events programme, the Achmea High Five Challenge 

(Achmea H5C), had two objectives: to stimulate sports participation 

and to promote the EYOF Utrecht 2013. These objectives 

were to be achieved through a programme of events. 

The Achmea H5C started in October 2012 and continued 

up to and including 14 July 2013. 

OBJECTIVES 

10,000 participants 

children participating in sports on a structural basis 

• 25% national awareness of the programme 


Element 

Participants 

Sports Days (incl. client day) 12,500 

Torch Relay 800 

‘Toppers bij jou op school’ 976 

Urban Tour 4,057 

Clinics 1,733 

Total 20,066 

The Achmea H5C was made up of nine elements. 

The most important were: 

URBAN TOUR 

The Urban Tour consisted of a travelling ‘sports village’ for 

children of 10-14 years of age, which had an ‘urban’ feel to it 

and offered 10-13 sports elements, linked to the EYOF sports. 

From October 2012 up to and including May 2013, the event 

was held 13 times: in Utrecht (7x), the region (4x) and the rest 

of the Netherlands (2x). 

SPORTS DAYS 

From 10 up to and including 21 June, 10 school sports days 

were organised at Sportcentre Olympos in Utrecht. In addition 

there was an extra sports day (‘Client Day’) for the children of 

partners of EYOF Utrecht 2013. 

TORCH RELAY 

In terms of timing (the four days prior to EYOF) and content 

(a run of approx. 500-750m per participant) the Torch Relay 

was focused more on promoting EYOF Utrecht 2013 than on 

stimulating sports in general. The Olympic nature of the event 

and the presence of the (real) Olympic Flame were recognised 

and considered to be special by many. 

‘TOPPERS BIJ JOU OP SCHOOL’ 

The existing ‘Toppers bij jou op School’ (Winners at your school) 

project was given an extra boost thanks to a contribution by 

EYOF Utrecht 2013. Top athletes from the region visited schools 

to talk about sports and their sports career and to provide a 

sports clinic. The existing presentations were supplemented 

with information about EYOF Utrecht 2013. 

CLINICS 

By giving clinics efforts were made to get local clubs involved 

in EYOF Utrecht 2013. This took place by giving an extra boost 

to an existing event or funding the organisation of a new event. 

AWARD 

In November, Achmea won a prestigious national award for the 

sponsorship of the Achmea High Five Challenge: a SponsorRing 

in the category ‘community’. The jury: 

By sponsoring the Achmea High Five Challenge, Achmea 

gave an important impulse to recreational sports. The case 

has a strategic, long term approach and Achmea also 

invests in our most important heritage: our children. 

The sponsorship was performed in very professional way, 

by the book and it fitted Achmea completely as an insurance 

company. Achmea had the courage to set a difficult question 

– to make youngsters activate - on the agenda and they 

found solutions, which booked results. The Achmea High 

Five Challenge fits the mission statement of the company. 

The promise of a contribution to the participation of 

recreational sports gives distinctiveness. There is no 

other insurance company with this claim.

22. CATERING 

23. HUMAN RESOURCES 

Information and introductory meetings from 3-6 June – 

Dutch Festival Makers 

The HR department met all of the Festival Makers at 

information and introductory meetings in Utrecht. The CEO or 

the Tour nament Director gave a presentation during the plenary 

session. After this, everyone was subsequently split into groups 

according to the job of his/her first choice to meet the relevant 

cluster manager/person responsible. 

Inspiration session 10 July 2013 – Galgenwaard Stadium 

The Festival Makers got to know each other better at a session 

at which inspiring speeches were given and food and drinks 

were served. The Festival Makers were also given the 

opportunity to collect their volunteer outfits and accreditation. 


Food: 

Participants (athletes and companions): 25,264 packages 

(breakfast/lunch/dinner) 

Staff and Festival Makers: Lunch: 7,200, Dinner: 5,700. 

The total number of packed lunches amounted to approx. 1,400, 

of which approx. 200 were for Festival Makers. A lot of packed 

lunches were handed out on the day of departure. 

At both the Opening and Closing Ceremony a total of around 

5,000 snacks were handed out. 

Drinks: 

Originally the following amounts of water and other drinks 

were supplied: 

Water: 48,000 half litre bottles 

Aquarius: 16,800 half litre bottles 

Coca Cola: 4,000 half litre bottles 

Extra drinks were ordered because of the hot weather: 

Bottles of water: 14,000 1/2 litre bottles 

13,000 litres of water in 20 litre containers: i.e. 26,000 bottles 

In addition the Festival Makers filled the water bottle that 

they had been provided with free of charge with tap water. 

Opening hours Restaurants Olympic Villages I and II 

Breakfast: 05:30 – 10:00 hours 

Lunch: 11:30 – 16.00 hours 

Dinner: 17:30 – 22:30 hours *) 

*In practice the restaurants remained open until 23.00 hours 

because the competitions did not finish on time. 

During 

During the first couple of days of EYOF Utrecht 2013 it became 

clear that the caterer had underestimated what was involved. 

Despite the experiences with earlier editions of EYOF, which 

were discussed with the caterer, the caterer was not fully 

prepared for: 

• the large volume of participants entering the restaurant 

at the same time in the first two days; 

• participants who helped themselves to large quantities 

of food (and then threw most of it away afterwards); 

• supervision in the restaurants. 

Water distribution during Opening Ceremony 

the first couple of days there was not enough staff 

present in the two restaurants to deal with the influx of participants 

(which resulted in long queues), there was a shortage 

of food (because large quantities were being thrown away) 

and plates, cutlery and leftover food was not returned to the 

dishwashing room by the participants. 

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 

As catering is an important precondition for the athletes to 

perform well during the EYOF, it is essential to prepare every 

catering aspect and to estimate the food quantities involved well 

in advance. Special attention should be paid to the fact, that: 

• Large groups of athletes will enter the restaurant at the same 

time; 

• Some athletes put more food on their plate than they could 

eat which can cause food shortage for the other athletes; 

• Not all athletes are used to take the used dishes and cutlery 

to the dishwashing area by themselves; 

Supervision should be at the restaurant at all times; 

• Also seasoned catering companies not always have experience 

with the needs and demands of (young) athletes. 

During the first couple of days of an EYOF, the participants 

do not participate in a great deal of sport yet. They only go to 

training sessions. As a result the chances of a great influx of 

participants in the restaurants is very great; greater than on the 

days when competitions take place. In order to be able to deal 

with the influx in the first couple of days, it is advisable to limit 

the choice of meals on the first couple of days and to limit the 

dinner on the day of the closing Ceremony. This will help speed 

up things in the restaurants. 

OBJECTIVE 

To recruit, select, train and deploy sufficient manpower 

(volunteers – Festival Makers) to turn EYOF Utrecht 2013 

into a success. 

To succeed in this objective, it has to be clear from the start, 

what your expectations are concerning your Festival Makers 

and what you, as a Festival, do and do not have to offer to the 

Festival Makers. Basic principles were formulated for EYOF 

Utrecht 2013, including ‘a unique Olympic experience’ and 

‘a look behind the scenes of a national operating event 

organisation’ as things EYOF had to offer. 

RECRUITMENT 

Website 

The corporate website of the EYOF Utrecht 2013 contained 

a page on which interested Festival Makers could register. 

This page also contained all the information available on the 

work involved. 

Recruitment plan 

Apart from the website, the following additional recruitment 

activities and channels were used: 

IT target groups were approached via our HR partner, letters 

and email were sent to defined groups, partners’ networks, 

sponsors and suppliers was used, digital newsletters were sent, 

information and introductory meetings were held. Flyers, posters 

and social media were also used and personal approach by 

EYOF Utrecht 2013 staff.

OBJECTIVE 

To proactively inform and facilitate the 49 participating European 

National Olympic Committees (NOCs), with the aim to simplify 

the preparations for the participating NOCs. 

NOC SECTION ON THE WEBSITE 

Setting up/developing a password protected NOC section on 

the website. This is how the so-called ‘need to know’ information 

was supplied to the NOCs. The 49 NOCs all received a unique 

user ID and password a year before the start of the EYOF. 

The NOCs could find the ‘nice to know’ information on 

the website 

The information contained in the NOC section was supplemented 

by e-mail messages that were sent out prior to relevant 

changes in the NOC section and to provide NOCs with 

general information. 

THE MANUALS 

The Chefs de Mission Manual and the nine Technical Manuals 

were a clear source of information for all concerned. Chefs de 

Mission manual: first of all an analysis was made of the existing 

Olympic Games, Youth Olympic Games and two previous 

EYOFs (2009 and 2011). It was decided to make the content 

of the Chefs de Mission Manual largely similar to the content 

of the manuals for the Youth Olympic Games. Deadline for 

the completion of the manual was 29 March 2013. After this 

first version, the manual was adapted for various reasons, 

the most important of these being the decision to set up 

Olympic Village III. 

CHEFS DE MISSION AND TECHNICAL DELEGATE SEMINAR 

There was a change made to the set up and organisation of the 

Chefs de Mission and Technical Delegates Seminar in April 2013. 

A survey conducted by interns among the 49 NOCs, showed 

that this change was appreciated by the NOCs. The EOC 

also reacted positively to this. The change largely consisted 

of shorter presentations with more images, instead of just a 

summing up texts, showing a number of films, getting former 

elite athletes involved (including one as presenter), showing 

NOCs that they are the most important target group of the EYOF 

by emphasizing this in the presentations. (See also chapter 12: 

Hospitality, protocol and other events)- 


All of the 49 invited NOCs took part in EYOF Utrecht 2013. 

The number of participating athletes came to 2,271. The number 

of team and general officials amounted to 843 and there were 28 

NOC Media Representatives.

Via the sports associations, approx. 1,100 Festival Makers were 

actively involved in the execution of the training and competition 

programme during the EYOF week at the venues. 

DUTCH SPORTS FEDERATIONS 

The Dutch sports federations have the specific sports technical 

knowledge that is essential when it comes to organising training 

sessions and competitions. In the majority of cases it was 

possible to use the existing, good relationship between the 

sports federations and their ‘own’ European Federation. 

ONE-TO-ONE MEETINGS 

From March 2013 it was decided to organise one-to-one 

meetings with the sports federations at the EYOF office once 

a month. Cluster managers and coordinators were invited to 

join the meetings to discuss their specific topic. The fact that 

the sports federations could speak to them directly 

improved efficiency. 

TECHNICAL MANUALS 

Most of the information (qualitative and quantitative) 

was provided to the NOCs via the nine Technical Manuals 

and supporting e-mails.
