Karlsruhe decides to host the 2029 World Games

The City Council of Karlsruhe has approved the organisation of the 2029 World Games, subject to receiving funding commitments from the federal and state governments. The costs of organising the event have risen significantly.

The International World Games Association (IWGA) decided in favour of Karlsruhe as the host city for the 2029 World Games – the world games for non-Olympic sports – at its annual general meeting in Esslingen at the beginning of May 2024. At a municipal council meeting, the city decided to host the Games under certain conditions and has already decided on the organising committee.
