League of Defense

The forecourt of Paris La Défense becomes a huge 5,000 m² arena with the second edition of League of Defense. Three days of unusual sporting challenges!

After its initial success, League of Defense returns to the forecourt of Paris La Défense in September 2026. This giant arena covering more than 5,000 m² welcomes 25 teams and 500 participants, who come to compete in events as physical as they are wacky: office chair curling, file race, human table soccer, tug-of-war, pétanque revisited, culinary blind-testing and giant beer-pong. The event is part of a solidarity initiative, with registrations donated to the Restos du Cœur des Hauts-de-Seine and food collected on site. For this second edition, the general public is invited to take part in some of the events and cheer on the teams, but also to enjoy a food-court with flavours from around the world every lunchtime, before a festive closing evening. A free event open to all, transforming Europe's largest business district into a festive playground for solidarity and unity.
