In front of the Sports Committee of the German Bundestag, Defence Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer and the Mayor of the City of Duesseldorf, Dr Stephan Keller, today announced the date of the INVICTUS GAMES, which will take place in Germany for the first time in 2023.

The INVICTUS GAMES DÜSSELDORF 2023 will take place from 9 until 16 September 2023.

Around 500 competitors from more than 20 countries will meet in the MERKUR SPIEL-ARENA in Duesseldorf to celebrate a great festival of optimism and inspiration together. Competitors will compete in a total of ten sports at the INVICTUS GAMES.

Due to the worldwide effects of the Corona virus, the Games in Germany had to be postponed from 2022 to 2023. The scheduling took place in very close coordination with the German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB) in order to avoid scheduling conflicts with comparable major sporting events and to give each individual event the maximum social and media attention it deserves.
