And for those who can not be there, everything will be broadcasted live on Solidsport. As well all streams will be available on replay. 

A total of 800 matches in twelve sports will be held at the 30 sports venues around Klagenfurt, in which winners will be crowned in 66 different age groups/sports. 

“I am happy together with the whole organization team that the 16th edition of the UWG can finally take place this year. The UWG are more than just an event: the United World Games are one of the leading events and are a fixed component in our annual calendar of events. The UWG convey socially indispensable values such as tolerance, solidarity, respect, friendship and fun movement and sport - values with which we as the province of sport also clearly identify and which we want to bring to the fore every day.”
