The Mayor of the Capital City of Warsaw, Mr Rafał Trzaskowski, takes honorary patronage of the European Go Congress 2025.

The Marshal of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship, Mr. Adam Struzik, has assumed honorary patronage of the European Go Congress 2025. "On behalf of the Marshal, we would like to congratulate PSG on the organisation of the event, which will provide an opportunity to integrate and exchange experiences of fans of one of the oldest strategic board games - Go. The event also provides an opportunity to promote the culture, traditions and tourist attractions of our country internationally".

As the Stołeczne Centrum Sportu AKTYWNA WARSZAWA (Capital Sports Centre ACTIVE WARSAW), we combine sport with education and culture, and promote active lifestyle among the inhabitants of Warsaw. This is our mission. We have become partners with Polish Go Association to prepare EGC 2025 in order to host such a significant sporting event on Polish soil, which will help to build a positive image of Poland as an open, hospitable and modern country.

The EGF is a non-profit organization with the purpose of encouraging, regulating, coordinating and disseminating the playing of Go in Europe. It has a history of more than 50 years of organising congresses, championships, tournaments, and leagues throughout Europe.

Membership is open to the Go organising body in any country in, or near to, Europe. As of 2018 there were 37 members and the number continues to grow.

The Polish Go Association promotes the game of Go in Poland, co-organises tournaments, supports the establishment and development of Go clubs, and promotes the community of Go players throughout the country.

In addition, the association represents Poland in international Go events and works to make the game more popular and accessible. With activities ranging from supporting local club meetings to organising major events such as the Polish Go Championship (since 1979) or the European Go Congress (1995 and 2004 in Tuchola, 2013 in Olsztyn), the PSG plays a key role in promoting Go as a cultural and sporting activity in Poland.

Since 2024, PSG has been running a free online Go League with more than 100 players and 6 teachers, aiming to build positive relationships between players and increase their level of play. We provide the opportunity to play longer games regularly and get comments from strong players.
