The IWGA and UFA Sports have agreed on a marketing cooperation containing all international media and commercial rights for a term including The World Games 2013 and 2017.

The World Games are a quadrennial global multi-sport event that offers competitions at the highest level in spectacular mix of traditional and modern sports, practiced on earth, in the air and on the water.

Just imagine: a combined 1.2 billion people around the globe practice sports like e.g. inline-skating, karate, rugby or squash. Our goal is to further increase this number by improving the prominence of these spectacular sports through excellent sporting achievements under the umbrella of The World Games. With UFA Sports we are happy to have found a competent and experienced partner who will help us achieving this goal."
