#RoadToChengdu
7-17 August 2025
The IWGA Media Workshop on 28th and 29th September at the Olympic House in Lausanne will focus amongst others on the topic of communication in and with China. Julian Gornall-Thode, General Manager of the Lausanne Office of Shankai Sports, explains in the IWGA Interview of the Month why it is worth working hard to overcome possible hurdles. This is certainly true for The World Games 2025, which will take place in Chengdu, People's Republic of China. The company Shankai has begun this year to support the IWGA in staging a successful Games in China.
The International World Games Association (IWGA) has earlier announced the 35 sports in the 12th edition of the multi-sport event in Chengdu, People's Republic of China, to be held from 7th to 17th August 2025. Now, in consultation with the participating international sports federations and the host city, the IWGA has agreed on most of the 60+ disciplines that are to be competed in during the ten days of competition.
From 28th July to 8th August, the FISU World University Games took place in Chengdu, People's Republic of China. For The World Games families, the ‘trailblazer event’ was of particular interest this year. This is because in two years' time Chengdu will host TWG 2025 (7th to 17th August). In the IWGA Interview of the Month, FISU Sports Director Juan Carlos Holgado says: "the host met the highest standards for an international multisport event.” A good reason to look forward to The World Games in Chengdu.
Congratulations to Nandhira Mauriskha from Indonesia, IWGA Athlete of the Month for August 2023. The 24-year-old Wushu fighter won two gold medals at the FISU World University Games in Chengdu, People’s Republic of China.
It is with great sadness that the International World Games Association has to announce that its former Secretary General Co Koren has passed away. The Honorary Life President of the International Tug of War Federation died last Saturday at the age of 80 after a short serious illness.
On Tuesday, the curtain falls on the 31st FISU University Summer Games in Chengdu, People's Republic of China. One day earlier, on 7th August, the next top sporting event in the city of 21 million inhabitants in Sichuan Province will come into view. Exactly two years from now, on 7th August 2025, the stage will open for the 12th edition of The World Games with 5,000 participants from more than 100 countries.
