"VAN" (Sports Desk - 26.04.2026) :: The International World Games Association (IWGA) has today officially unveiled the Sports Programme for The World Games 2029 in Karlsruhe, Germany, following its ratification by IWGA Members at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne.
This milestone decision confirms the first group of sports that will feature at The World Games, marking a significant step on the road to Karlsruhe, where the global sporting community will gather from 19 to 29 July 2029. Around 4,000 athletes from more than 100 countries are expected to compete in one of the world’s largest multi-sport events.
The Sports Programme, approved by the IWGA Executive Committee and ratified by the IWGA Members, reflects the organisation’s commitment to diversity, innovation and sustainability. It combines popular, emerging and traditional disciplines, while prioritising the use of existing venues and integrating a limited number of temporary sites in the heart of the host city.
The sports confirmed in this first phase offer a broad and exciting showcase of The World Games Movement.
