Zdravko Marić, President of the Regional Organizing Committee of Plazma Youth Sports Games
Plazma Youth Sports Games encourage children and young people to build healthy habits and responsibility towards themselves and society through sports, socializing, and education. We help create responsible members of our society who will build their future based on positive sports values.
We have always followed global models in the form of organizing competitions and accompanying events, so we organize, every year, more than 150 accompanying sports and educational events in cooperation with local governments, large opening and closing ceremonies of the Games attended by more than 20,000 people and the grand finals of the Coca-Cola Cup tournament all with live television broadcast. All events have large production setups, and marketing and PR campaigns bring significant visibility and promotion to sponsors and host cities. We have transferred the successful model of the Games from Croatia to Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and we see an increase in the number of participants and cities and municipalities that want to host tournaments or events every year. We understand that social and economic development depends on the sustainable management of our planet’s natural resources and we acknowledge the world’s natural and cultural diversity and the fact that all cultures and civilizations are key factors of sustainable development. To achieve the goals, everyone needs to fulfill their part of the obligations: governments, the private sector, civil society, and each of us. Connecting with Plazma Youth Sports Games brings multiple benefits to our partners. We connect all our stakeholders and include them in a positive image and reputation we build as promoters of a healthy lifestyle and social values among children and parents. It is, therefore, not surprising that numerous international organizations, institutions, and respected individuals have given us support. In our 28 years of existence, we have connected 2,700,000 children and young people and have influenced many generations. In the future, we are committed to building responsible individuals who are the foundation of our society through sports, education, and powerful media activities.
