The International World Games Association is pleased to announce the nine athletes who have been elected to serve on the IWGA Athletes Committee for the 2025–2029 term.
Following the voting period held during The World Games 2025 in Chengdu, China, from 3–16 August, accredited athletes from across the Games cast their votes online to select their representatives.
Seven athletes were chosen from a pool of 20 candidates representing a wide range of sports and countries, all nominated by their respective International Federations.
In line with the IWGA Constitution, two additional members were appointed by the IWGA President to ensure balanced representation in terms of gender, sport, and geographical diversity.
The first meeting of the new Athletes Committee will be held in October 2025, during which the members will elect their Chair. The elected Chair will also serve as a member of the IWGA Executive Committee for the duration of the term, from 2025 to 2029.
