Host selection

Baku was awarded the right to host the first European Games at the 41st EOC General Assembly in Rome, on 8 December 2012. The European Games will take place every four years thereafter, with the next competition held in 2019.

The decision was made as a result of secret balloting, where of 48 votes, 38 were in favour of the sole bidder for the event.[5] Eight votes were against, and two more abstained from voting. The representatives of Armenia refused to take part in the voting.[6]

Organisation

The Organising Committee responsible for the inaugural European Games in Baku was established by decree of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The committee is chaired by the First Lady of Azerbaijan Mehriban Aliyeva,[7] member of the Executive Committee of the National Olympic Committee of the Republic of Azerbaijan and UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador. Baku 2015 European Games Operations Committee (BEGOC) was established under the direction of the Chairperson of the Organising Committee.

The Chief Executive Officer of BEGOC is Azad Rahimov, Minister of Youth and Sport while the Chief Operating Officer is Simon Clegg.[7]

Participating NOCs

 
All countries participating in the 2015 European Games in green. Host country (Azerbaijan) in purple.

50 national olympic committees participated in this European Games edition, including the Olympic Committee of Kosovo in its first time at a wide multi-sport event. Since the Faroe Islands and Gibraltar are not members of the European Olympic Committee, the Faroese participants occurred for the Ligue Européenne de Natation and the Gibraltar participants for the Athletic Association of Small States of Europe.

An exception to the ban on Armenian citizens or people of Armenian ethnicity entering Azerbaijan (because of the state of war between these countries) was made for these games; see Armenian ethnicity.[citation needed]

Participating National Olympic Committees[14]

Sports

A total of 20 sports was represented: 16 Olympic sports, two Olympic sports contested only in non-Olympic formats (basketball and football) and two non-Olympic sports (karate and sambo). Two para-sport events were contested judo. Twelve of the sports (archery, athletics, boxing, cycling, judo, shooting, swimming, table tennis, taekwondo, triathlon, volleyball, wrestling) would offer qualification opportunities for the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics. The aquatic sports are only open to junior-level competitors, and the athletics competition forms the third division of the European Team Championships.

Calendar

The competition schedule consists of 253 events.[16][17]

Controversies

Human rights situation and media bans

Amnesty International have been a vocal critic of the Baku 2015 European Games, stating in March 2015, "Azerbaijan may be a safe country for athletes taking part in the 100 metres, but defending rights and free speech is a dangerous game here. Those who champion them receive harassment and prison sentences instead of medals.".[45] In August 2014, the human rights organisation highlighted the 24 prisoners of conscience being held in Azerbaijan prisons as an example of abuses.[46] Western countries also criticized Aliyev's intention to close the OSCE offices in Baku.[47]

In June 2015, The Guardian reported that its own reporters, along with those of other media outlets, had been barred from entering Baku to cover the games. Human Rights Watch, in the same article, stated it had observed "the worst crackdown the country has seen in the post-Soviet era".[48]

Most European heads of state and government refused to participate at the opening ceremony,[49] sending mid- or low-level representatives instead.[citation needed] Among those who did participate were Vladimir Putin of Russia, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of Turkey, Aleksander Lukashenko of Belarus, Boyko Borisov of Bulgaria and Victor Ponta of Romania. Ponta and Borisov faced criticism at home for their participation.[47]

Bus accident

During the games there was a road accident where a coach driver drove into a group of young Austrian athletes by mixing up the accelerator and brake pedals, with the incident recorded by a surveillance camera. 15-year-old Austrian synchronized swimmer Vanessa Sahinovic and her teammates Lisa Breit and Luna Pajer were injured. Sahinovic was placed in an induced coma and flown to Vienna for emergency surgery. Sahinovic was left paraplegic in the accident. Because of the accident, Austria had to withdraw from the team competition. In the synchronized swimming duet competition, sisters Anna-Maria and Eirini-Maria Alexandri won the silver medal, which they dedicated to the injured teammates. The police officer who released the video of the surveillance camera was relieved of his duties. Sahinovic is recovering, and is supported by an initiative of Austrian swimmers and a fundraising campaign.[50][51][52][53][54][55]

Marketing

Logo and mascots

 
Jeyran (left) and Nar (right), the mascots of the games.

The official logo for the 2015 European Games was unveiled on 16 June 2014.[56] Designed by Adam Yunusov, it was inspired by country's ancient and contemporary culture.[57] The logo includes flame, water, the mythical Simurgh bird, an Azerbaijani carpet and a pomegranate as one of the symbols of Azerbaijani profusion.[57][58] The pomegranate, called Nar (pomegranate in Azerbaijani), is one of two mascots for the Games, along with a gazelle named Jeyran (gazelle in Azerbaijani). The couple are intended to represent the spirit of Azerbaijan and help excite the youth for the event.[59]

Brand and visual identity

The brand incorporates traditional Azerbaijani imagery with images and colours designed to evoke a European sporting feel. The pomegranate tree, whose fruit juice is one of Azerbaijan's main exports, features heavily. The brand was created with legacy potential in mind, possibly inspired by the way the Commonwealth Games’ branding retains a similar feel each year.[60]

As Azerbaijan as a state sponsored Spanish football club Atlético Madrid at that time, this European Games was advertised on the club's kits during the later half of their 2014–15 season.

Sponsors

On 21 May 2014, Procter & Gamble became the first official partner of the inaugural European Games.[61][62] Swiss watchmaker Tissot has been named the official timekeeper and will provide all timing and scoring services.[63] On 13 November 2014, Motorola Solutions also teamed up with Baku 2015 as the Official Radio Communications Supporter.[64]

Official partners Official supporters Official child rights organisation

Torch relay

On Sunday 26 April the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, captured the official flame of the Baku 2015 European Games.[65] The flame had visited 60 locations until the final torchbearer entered the National Stadium for the Opening Ceremony on 12 June.[66]

International have been a vocal critic of the Baku 2015 European Games stating in March 2015 Azerbaijan may be a safe country for athletes taking part in the 100 metres but defending rights and free speech is a dangerous game here Those who champion them receive harassment and prison sentences instead of medals 45 In August 2014 the human rights organisation highlighted the 24 prisoners of conscience being held in Azerbaijan prisons as an example of abuses 46 Western countries also criticized Aliyev s intention to close the OSCE offices in Baku 47 In June 2015 The Guardian reported that its own reporters along with those of other media outlets had been barred from entering Baku to cover the games Human Rights Watch in the same article stated it had observed the worst crackdown the country has seen in the post Soviet era 48 Most European heads of state and government refused to participate at the opening ceremony 49 sending mid or low level representatives instead citation needed Among those who did participate were Vladimir Putin of Russia Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey Aleksander Lukashenko of Belarus Boyko Borisov of Bulgaria and Victor Ponta of Romania Ponta and Borisov faced criticism at home for their participation 47 Bus accident Edit During the games there was a road accident where a coach driver drove into a group of young Austrian athletes by mixing up the accelerator and brake pedals with the incident recorded by a surveillance camera 15 year old Austrian synchronized swimmer Vanessa Sahinovic and her teammates Lisa Breit and Luna Pajer were injured Sahinovic was placed in an induced coma and flown to Vienna for emergency surgery Sahinovic was left paraplegic in the accident Because of the accident Austria had to withdraw from the team competition In the synchronized swimming duet competition sisters Anna Maria and Eirini Maria Alexandri won the silver medal which they dedicated to the injured teammates The police officer who released the video of the surveillance camera was relieved of his duties Sahinovic is recovering and is supported by an initiative of Austrian swimmers and a fundraising campaign 50 51 52 53 54 55 Marketing EditLogo and mascots Edit Jeyran left and Nar right the mascots of the games The official logo for the 2015 European Games was unveiled on 16 June 2014 56 Designed by Adam Yunusov it was inspired by country s ancient and contemporary culture 57 The logo includes flame water the mythical Simurgh bird an Azerbaijani carpet and a pomegranate as one of the symbols of Azerbaijani profusion 57 58 The pomegranate called Nar pomegranate in Azerbaijani is one of two mascots for the Games along with a gazelle named Jeyran gazelle in Azerbaijani The couple are intended to represent the spirit of Azerbaijan and help excite the youth for the event 59 Brand and visual identity Edit The brand incorporates traditional Azerbaijani imagery with images and colours designed to evoke a European sporting feel The pomegranate tree whose fruit juice is one of Azerbaijan s main exports features heavily The brand was created with legacy potential in mind possibly inspired by the way the Commonwealth Games branding retains a similar feel each year 60 As Azerbaijan as a state sponsored Spanish football club Atletico Madrid at that time this European Games was advertised on the club s kits during the later half of their 2014 15 season Sponsors Edit On 21 May 2014 Procter amp Gamble became the first official partner of the inaugural European Games 61 62 Swiss watchmaker Tissot has
