Games On
Welcome to the world of the Janus Queer Games, where the diversity of sports is surpassed only by the diversity of the people. At the heart of sports lies our passion for exciting matches, our love of the game, and our vision of a world where prejudices are overcome through the universal language of sports.
Our tournament is more than just a competition—it is a place of encounter, a space where joy and shared experiences fill every moment. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of our members, the Janus Queer Games will once again be a highlight of sporting passion and togetherness.
We want to help ensure that everyone finds their place in sports, regardless of background, social status, physical abilities, age, gender, or sexual identity.

Support the Janus Queer Games as a volunteer
Organizing an event like the Janus Queer Games is impossible for a nonprofit association with an all-volunteer organizing team without support. That’s why we welcome any helping hand.
Volunteering is one of the cornerstones of the Janus Queer Games. Dozens of volunteers contribute their time to make this festival an unforgettable experience. Maybe you’d like to join our team too?
Many of our volunteers have been passionately involved with SC Janus for years, creating a close-knit, family-like bond. As a thank you for your dedication, you’ll receive a goodie bag from us as well as full meals during your shift. Plus, you’ll have plenty of fun and a warm invitation to the thank-you party for our volunteers.
We can use your support in various areas. Whether it’s handling accreditation for the opening ceremony, providing meals for our athletes during competition days, packing goodie bags in advance, or setting up and taking down the sports venues. There are several other small but important tasks for which we need you.
The board of SC Janus e.V. and the organizing team are very proud of the fantastic volunteer team at the Janus Queer Games. A big, colorful thank you for your help!
