About The World Games

Since the very first edition in 1981, The World Games (TWG) have become the second-most important global multi-sport event in the world. TWG is a multi-sport event for sports and disciplines that are not in the programme of the Olympic Games. TWG is the international showcase that positions the world's best athletes, the host city and the partners and sponsors at the heart of world sport.

 

 

With the event taking place only every four years, the 11-day event aspires to equal and exceed the importance of World Championships for the represented sports and disciplines. For many athletes, TWG is pinnacle event of their sporting career. There is no higher goal to achieve in than to become TWG Champion.

 

In mutual collaboration with the International World Games Association, the Member Federations and the Host City, the best possible experience for both athletes and fans is delivered at every edition.

 

 

For TWG 2025, approximately 5,000 world-class athletes from over 100 countries (regions) will compete in 253 medal events for gold.
