From 17 to 20 November 2026 Business France will organise the French Sport Days across Mumbai, Ahmedabad and New Delhi, creating a platform that connects French sports companies with Indian public and private stakeholders shaping the country’s sports industry. The four‑day mission is timed with India’s accelerating investment in its sports ecosystem and its preparation for major events such as the 2030 Commonwealth Games and the 2036 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
A delegation of six French companies will participate. Decathlon, a leading French sporting‑goods retailer with an established Indian presence, joins as a partner of the initiative. FRANCE CHEVAL SERVICES will present expertise in equestrian infrastructure, covering racecourses, training centres, arenas and stables from feasibility studies through construction supervision and operational support. GROUPE ABÉO will showcase sports and leisure equipment solutions for schools, community venues and international competition facilities. INSYNC FILMS, based in Paris, will demonstrate capabilities in sports audiovisual production, live‑event videography, multi‑camera production, brand content and motion graphics. TEAM GREEN will offer natural‑grass sports‑turf solutions that combine fertilizers, seeds, biostimulants, soil improvers and technologies to enhance pitch performance and maintenance. ALCOR EQUIPEMENTS will display custom modular grandstand and seating systems for both permanent and temporary sports venues.
Ahmedabad is highlighted as a particularly significant stop because it is the host city for the 2030 Commonwealth Games and sits at the centre of India’s 2036 Olympic and Paralympic ambition, positioning it as a future hub for sports development. The programme will also feature institutional participants INSEP and Choose Paris Region, adding expertise in high‑performance sport and territorial attractiveness.
The mission will culminate on 20 November in New Delhi at FICCI TURF 2026, the Global Conference on Business of Sports, where France will be featured as Country of Honour. The conference will bring together policymakers, sports federations, business leaders, investors and other major stakeholders from the Indian sports ecosystem to explore collaboration opportunities.
