FSB 2025
Germany’s premier gathering for the public space, sports, and leisure industry returns to Cologne’s Messe from October 28 to 31, 2025. This year,FSB once again shares the spotlight with Aquanale, a leading pool and sauna expo, creating synergy for attendees. FSB 2025, building on its international success, is an essential event for leaders in the sports and leisure industry.
The exhibition floor boasts an anticipated 552 exhibitors from over 40 countries showcasing cutting-edge solutions. A major draw is the IAKS Congress, featuring insightful workshops and talks. This year’s key themes focus on developing sustainable communities and eco-friendly sports facilities.
The venue’s themed sections categorise leading products and services, from sports facility design & equipment to playgrounds and urban planning expertise. This facilitates focused interaction between exhibitors and influential figures like architects, municipal representatives, and sports organization managers. A prestigious award ceremony, co-organised by the Olympic Committees and IAKS, highlights the significance of FSB. Recognizing innovative and sustainable sports facilities, the IOC IPC IAKS Architecture Prizes will be awarded to 30 outstanding projects, including student-led initiatives. A dedicated stand will showcase these prize-winning designs.
