Booklet: History of the IWGA

The International World Games Association (IWGA) celebrated its 40th anniversary on 21 May 2020. To mark this occasion, a booklet has been prepared of the history of the organisation – from 1980 to 2020.

The booklet presents the IWGA’s history extensively, as well as each edition in more detail. You can also find out when the current member federations have become IWGA members, and which members there have been in the early years.
