After intense discussion and consultation with International World Games Association (IWGA) media and marketing partners, the new date for the event was jointly chosen by Wrocław Organizing Committee (WOC) and IWGA.
The last six months were a busy and fruitful period for the WOC. First of all, the Municipality of Wrocław was established a wider cooperation with national and regional government on the 10th edition of The World Games, by signing the appropriate Agreements with Ministry of Sport and Tourism and with the Lower Silesian Voivodeship.
Another fundamental agreement was signed with the Polish Olympic Committee. The aim of all listed agreements is to combine organizational success with the long term value provided by creation of the optimal conditions for the popularization and development of physical activity among citizens.
Another important achievement, especially for the IWGA Member Federations, is a presentation of the Daily Sports Schedule, which was announced officially by IWGA in the end of November 2014 during the 1st Competition Managers Meeting in Wrocław.
The World Games 2017 will showcase 27 sports altogether within the official sports program, with an additional 4 invitational sports.
The World Games 2017, same as the previous editions of the Games, will not be made of sports competitions only. Although sport is what gathers people around TWG, a very important site on the Wrocław’s map of the Games will be the World Games Plaza. The WG Plaza is the central meeting point for citizens, visitors and participants to socialize and take in the games’ atmosphere in a spirit of international solidarity and cultural exchange. The place where one does not need to compete, because everyone is winning the first prize – positive, friendly attitude and lot of fun.
