About the Invictus Games
The Invictus Games has been held 7 times in the past 10 years with previous hosts being London, Orlando, Toronto, Sydney, The Hague, Düsseldorf and Vancouver Whistler.
The Invictus Games take place biennially and use sport to aid recovery for wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans (WIS). The spirit of the Games therefore lies not in elite competition, but the delivery of a high-profile, international and adaptive sports event where rehabilitation of the individual is at the core. Hosting an Invictus Games must align with the Invictus Games Foundation’s (IGF) mission of: Through sport and adventurous challenge, we inspire, improve and influence the recovery and rehabilitation of Wounded, Injured and Sick servicemen and women.
The Games are about more than sport. They must be an integral component of the overall support provided to the WIS community and their families before, during and beyond the Games as part of the IGF’s 3 Pillars of Inspire, Improve and Influence. The Games must inspire the WIS individuals, their families, those who support them, the wider disabled community, the business community and the general public, as well as enhancing the understanding of those who serve their country. The Games are a symbol of strength, honour and optimism of the ‘Invictus Generation’ and bring together the international communities across our 25 Participating Nations.
