Panathlon International is the association of all “Panathlon Clubs”, essentially based on the voluntary work of its Club members.
Panathlon is a “Service-Club” with ethical and cultural aims, whose goal is to closely examine, promulgate and defend the values of sport intended as a means towards the development and advancement of the individual and as a vehicle of solidarity between men and peoples.

The word “Panathlon” is of Greek origin, and can be translated with “group of sport disciplines” and its motto “Ludis Iungit” means “united by sport".
