World Games 2017 - WROCLAW

The first meeting of the IF competition managers was held in Wroclaw from November 20th to 22nd 2014. For this meeting, all general matters concerning this 10th edition of the world games were presented.

Some days after this meeting, we received a mail from José Perurena, President of the International World Games Association (IWGA). He has informed the participating International Federations about a change of dates for The World Games 2017 in Wroclaw / Poland. The 10^th edition of this multi-sport event will now take place from 20 – 30 July 2017. With this decision, the Executive Committee of the IWGA is responding to a formal request from the Wroclaw Organizing Committee (WOC).

The WOC explained that these new dates would prevent a scheduling conflict with other major events and underlined the evident advantage of getting better media coverage when staging The World Games 2017 at the end of July.
In his letter to the participating federations, José Perurena informed them that the Executive Committee had discussed this request intensely, and after consultation with IWGA’s media and marketing partners had decided to accept the WOC’s well-founded request.
