The World Games Aug 2029*

Multi-Event

Overview

The World Games is an international multi-sport event consisting of disciplines that are not generally contested in the Olympic Games. They are usually held every 4 years - one year after a Summer Olympic Games - over an 11-day period and are overseen by the International World Games Association, under the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

The first edition of The World Games was held in Santa Clara, USA in 1981 and has expanded to include between 25 and 30 sports. Some disciplines that have previously been on the programme were discontinued at the World Games as they are now included in the Olympic Games. The huge event has around 3,600 participants from around 100 nations taking part. There is a drive towards sustainability at The World Games with host cities being urged to use venues and facilities already established.

In 2029, The World Games will be held in Karlsruhe in Germany. Visit the World Games website for full information and ticketing.
