The biennial Games for young athletes is due to take place between July 23 and 29.

In a lengthy statement, Borkai speaks about the recent progress made by the Organising Committee, including the appointment of sport ambassadors for the event and the presentation of the medal designs.

Organisers are now preparing for a Chefs de Mission seminar, scheduled to be held at the end of this month.

"The representatives of all 50 participating NOCs (National Olympic Committees) were invited to this event, and it seems we will welcome among others the swimming legend Peter van den Hoogenband, and will present all practical information about the EYOF and discuss relevant questions with them," Borkai, who is also the Mayor of Győr, said.

"At the end of May, the flame lighting ceremony will take place in Rome, Italy, and then will arrive to Győr to start its countrywide journey from there.

"In the meantime, EYOF test competitions are organised during the months before the event, where the Organising Committee assesses the different procedures.

"All these preparation works have one goal, to show something exceptional and special to the participants at the Festival which will open on July 23 with a unique Opening Ceremony.

"There is only 100 days to go - we are preparing continuously, please prepare with us."

Borkai also spoke about the development of Győr since it first decided to bid for the EYOF six years ago.

"When we decided to bid for hosting the EYOF back in 2011, 2017 seemed to be very far away," he added.

"Since then, almost six years have passed and now we are only 100 days before the event, almost ready to start.

"If I think about these past six years, a lot has happened in our city.

"We have built venues up to high European standards, such as the Audi Arena Győr and the Aqua Sports Centre.

"In Radnóti Street, the Olympic Sport Park, a facility which will serve as a training and competition venue for various sports, is under construction.

"The Széchenyi István University is extended by new dormitory wings which will serve as the Athletes’ Village together with 201 newly-built apartments at the premises of the old oil factory.

"Apart from the new facilities, the town’s infrastructure has developed immensely, including improved transport connections, new roads and several renovations."

Borkai emphasised that these projects were subsidised by the Hungarian State through more than HUF20 billion (£53 million/$69 million/€64 million) of funding.

He also said the municipality of Győr contributed significantly.
