The 2019 European Youth Olympic Winter Festival will be held in Sarajevo & Istočno Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina from 9 to 16 February 2019.
The event had initially been planned to be held in 2017, whereas the 2019 EYOF had been planned for Erzurum. In November 2015, the two cities agreed to swap their events, since Sarajevo could not be ready in time, while Erzurum already had facilities in place from the 2011 Winter Universiade.
Within the framework of the EYOF 2019 project, there is a plan to recruit around 1500 volunteers, majority of which will be students.
The official mascot of the EYOF 2019 is Groodvy, created by the Visia Agency from Istočno Sarajevo, and selected after all the votes of fans from social networks. Other proposed mascots were Jezos and Jazzy. Name Groodvy comes from word which in Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian language means snowball.
