Following a fantastic response from the IWAS Membership, IWAS is delighted to announce the Entry System is now open for First Entries to the IWAS World Games 2017.

The 7th edition of the Games will be hosted in Vila Real de Santo Antonio, Portugal from 30 November to 6th December 2017 where athletes from all over the world will compete over four days in Archery, Athletics, Swimming, Table Tennis and Para Taekwondo.

The High Performance Training Centre of Complexo de Sportivo Vila Real de Santo Antonio is located just 50km from the nearest international airport and 3km from the hotel facilities, providing the perfect base to host all sports on the programme.

IWAS President, Paul DePace said, ‘We are excited to bring the IWAS World Games to Vila Real de Santo Antonio Complexo Desportivo in Portugal for the first time.  The event, which has the full support of the nation’s IWAS Member, Federação Portuguesa de Desporto para Pessoas com Deficiência (FPDD), will bring a wide variety of sports giving an opportunity to new athletes to experience the value of the IWAS World Games. We greatly look forward to welcoming the athletes and staff of the IWAS Membership to Portugal later in the year.’
