Road to Wroclaw

In October IWGA started its campaign “Road to Wroclaw”. Pictures and shorts articles give an overview of the IWGA story. Co Koren, former Secretary General of the IWGA has collected all the information from the past editions: The first World Games were staged in Santa Clara/California in 1981. London was calling in 1985. The World Games took place for the first time in Asia in 2001 when Akita/Japan hosted the 6^thedition. The multi-sport event gave its debut in South America in 2013. Those facts and more are presented to The World Games Family and the world of sports.
