Throwback series #15
⏩To fit the occasion of our 15 year anniversary the number of featured sports matched the years of the event’s existence, with the debutants Ultimate Frisbee, Beach-Volleyball and Bouldering not only appealing to athletes and spectators alike but also adding exciting locations such as the newly opened climbing hall of the Naturfreunde Kärnten or the Beach-Volleyball courts of the University of Klagenfurt to our venues. Colombia, Estonia and the Republic of Moldova joined the list of participating nations, a list which had grown to an impressive size over the years.

Dear UWG Family! Today we would like to give you

Dear UWG Family!

Today we would like to give you an update on where we are presently standing with the event.

We want to leave no stone unturned and are not giving up hope of holding the United World Games 2021 and providing our youth with a great start to the summer.

The UWG 2021 will take place! (June 24 - 27)

Due to the external circumstances, the Games can obviously not take place in their usual manner and scale, but we are very pleased to be able to offer the following sports: Basketball, Beach Volleyball, Orienteering, Rugby, Soccer, Volleyball

To all our friends from other sport who we unfortunately cannot welcome this year, we can already promise a very special reception at UWG 2022 (June 16 - 19, 2022).
We are aiming for a safe and scalable tournament concept with about 2,000 participants, in which all health regulations (distance etc.) can be respected.
The UWG 2021 will of course be a "special edition" but as far as possible, we will again create unforgettable moments for you this year.

The registration phase is already in full swing and due to the strictly limited starting places we already have to put teams on the waiting list in certain age categories – therefore we ask all interested teams to secure their spot quickly.
To stay as flexible as possible for you, we are extending the registration window until May 14. Needless to say, registered teams can of course also be cancelled free of charge until this date. If the situation on May 14 is such that we cannot guarantee you a smoothly run event, we will also inform you on this date about a potentially necessary cancellation.

Stay safe and stay healthy!
Your UWG Team

⏩Alongside the continuously rising participant numbers, the 11th edition of the United World Games also saw further additions to the range of featured sports. The introduction of Orienteering and Swimming meant that no less than 9 different sports were on show, with both of the new competitions being a huge success and drawing new members from Russia, Pakistan, Mexico and Portugal into the UWG family.
