When the nations march into the Wörthersee stadium as part of the varied opening ceremony, goose bumps are pre-programmed.Spectators can expect a performance by the world-famous Boys’ Choir paired with sporting BMX action, with the focus, as always, on the feeling of peaceful togetherness. 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.”
