Season 19

The 18th season of the international television game show Jeux sans frontières was held in the summer of 1982. Broadcasters from Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and Yugoslavia participated in the competition coordinated by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). The different heats were hosted by each of the participant broadcasters in locations in their countries such as La Maddalena (Italy), Šibenik (Yugoslavia), Issy-les-Moulineaux (France), Tesserete (Switzerland), Funchal (Portugal), Sherborne (United Kingdom), and Ghent (Belgium). The grand final was held in Urbino (Italy). The head international referee in charge of supervising the competition were Gennaro Olivieri and Guido Pancaldi [it].

For each heat, each broadcaster sent a mixed team of twelve members (six men and six women) from a city or town from its country that competed against each other in a series of games –funny physical games played in outlandish costumes, though none-the-less technically difficult– themed in the specific topic of the episode. After the seven heats, the most successful team from each country competed in the grand final. Each of the episodes was presented by the host broadcaster in its own language. Each of the participating broadcasters had their own presenters who did some on-site presentations for their audience and commented on the competition in their language.

The season was won by the team from Rochefort, Belgium, being the runner-up the team from Versoix, Switzerland.
