World Games 2029 in Karlsruhe

To prepare for our tug-of-war World Championships in September, we met with TWIF officials during the International World Games Association (IWGA) General Assembly on May 1 to finalize plans for the preparation and execution of the tournament.
We’re thrilled that the city of Karlsruhe has been awarded the hosting rights for the World Games 2029 – it’s a huge motivation for us in the coming years. Congratulations!
