The World Games Media Hub

published on 9 June, 2020

The World Games introduces a new media hub, where you can easily find our videos, photos and member sport federations in one place. At the same time, the new media hub replaces The World Games Channel, and all the videos can now be found through it on YouTube. You can also find current and previous Athletes of the Month at a glance.

”The World Games Channel was created at a time when our member federations needed a platform to showcase their sports and live events. Fortunately, most of them now have their own platforms, and many, like us, also have started cooperation with the Olympic Channel. We felt that this was the right time to modernise our channels, start to use YouTube more proactively and concentrate our videos there”, Communication Officer Anna Jacobson says.

  1. World Games video series include Beginner’s Guides to The World Games 2022 sports, Did you know – curious facts about our sports, #WeAreTheWorldGames video interviews of athletes and more.

Besides YouTube, The World Games social media video series such as Stay at home, Train at home, can be found on Facebook and Instagram.
