The World Games 2017
Giving reasons for the decision in favour of Wroclaw, President Ron Froehlich mentioned the excellent bid presented by the host city. "We are happy to present our sports in Wroclaw in the summer of 2017, and we are sure that we will be offered optimal conditions for our sportsmen and women there. All the bids we received were of very high quality, and it was not easy for us to reach a decision." The multi-sport event showcases 30-plus sports and is the pinnacle competition of the year for 4,400 athletes (including the invitational sports) from over 90 countries.
Wroclaw offers all prerequisites to stage an event like The World Games. This does not only refer to the required sporting venues and infrastructure. The city also has a record as a host of big sports events (UEFA Euro 2012) and can count on the support of the Polish government and the National Olympic Committee.
The World DanceSport Federation congratulates Wroclaw and looks forward to bring the best dancers to the city in 2017.
