Sports

This year we have more sports than ever for the Spring Fling with a focus on TEAM competition.  Individual sports are still a part of the event, but will be competed in a team format.  This year we have also taken our slogan, “Where Business Meets Sport” one step further to include companies in the competition.  Now we offer you the chance to network on and off the field in an informal atmosphere revolving around sport and competition.

All sports will be played at INEFC in Montjuïc Park, home of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.  Medals and awards will be presented to winning teams and overall competition winners will be announced during the closing ceremony on Sunday.

Below you will find an attached sports schedule and a brief description of the rules, contacts and scoring system for each sport. This is only intended as an overview. Each coordinator(s) (from IESE) is responsible for running their event. They should contact your team captain before the event with more detailed information. Additionally, if you have any queries or have not been contacted please contact them directly:
