WCSP 2029

The German Sport University Cologne is delighted to host the "World Congress of Sport Psychology 2029“ !

From July 30th to August 3rd, 2029, the German Sport University Cologne will proudly host the World Congress of Sport Psychology (WCSP 2029), one of the leading global conferences in the field. Under the theme "Breaking Barriers in Sport Psychology: A Vision for Societal Impact," the congress will bring together renowned experts, researchers, and practitioners from around the world to explore the latest advancements in sport psychology and their broader societal impact.

WCSP 2029 will offer a diverse program featuring keynotes from top international researchers, interactive workshops, and engaging panel discussions that will highlight new directions in sport psychology. Participants will have the chance to build global networks, learn from leading experts, and collaborate with professionals from various cultures and disciplines. The congress will also showcase innovative research and practical approaches that push forward both the scientific and applied aspects of sport psychology.

This event presents a unique opportunity to advance sport psychology not only at an academic level but also in terms of its societal relevance. Attendees will be able to strengthen the connection between science and practice, working together in an inspiring environment to address current challenges and devise innovative solutions.

The congress is supported by both public institutions (Government, State, City and German Foundation of Research) and private organizations (sponsors of the GSU and business partners). Germany will host the WCSP for the first time. The year 2029 is particularly fitting as there are several other anniversaries to celebrate: 65 years of Institute of Psychology at GSU Cologne, 60 years of German Association of Sport Psychology (asp) and 60 years of European Sport Psychology by FEPSAC. As the host, the German Sport University Cologne, Europe's leading university for sports science, offers an inspiring academic environment and excellent facilities. The vibrant and culturally rich city of Cologne also provides the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable experience beyond the congress itself.

Further information regarding the program, registration, and speakers will be available here after the ISSP 2025 in Hong Kong.
