The International World Games Association (IWGA) is an organization that oversees the World Games, a multi-sport event held every four years. The Games feature sports that are not included in the Olympic Games, showcasing a variety of disciplines from around the world. The IWGA aims to promote these sports and encourage participation at all levels. Founded in 1980, the IWGA works closely with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and various international sports federations. The association is responsible for the organization, promotion, and development of the World Games, ensuring that athletes from diverse backgrounds can compete and share their passion for sport.
