THE MOST INCLUSIVE
SPORTING EVENT ON
THE PLANET
Since the first Special Olympics Games in 1968, the world
has transcended the boundaries of geography, nationality,
political philosophy, gender, age, culture, and religion to
come together every two years for the largest sporting
and humanitarian event worldwide - the Special Olympics
World Games. Alternating between summer and winter,
the World Games have become the flagship event of the
Special Olympics movement, and have grown to be a truly
international demonstration of inclusion, acceptance
and unity.
Showcasing the true spirit of sport, these world-class
sporting events are broadcast to hundreds of millions
of viewers in the host countries and across the globe,
featuring intense competition, inspiring performances
and empowering stories of athletes with intellectual
disabilities. Attracting world leaders, celebrities, dignitaries
and hundreds of thousands of spectators, the Special
Olympics World Games are one of the most powerful and
important vehicles for communicating to the world the
abilities and gifts of people with intellectual disabilities,
the most marginalized population on earth.

"THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS WORLD GAMES BROUGHT
OUT THE BEST IN PEOPLE IN IRELAND. IT KINDLED THE
SPIRIT OF ACCEPTANCE AND TOGETHERNESS. PEOPLE OF
ALL BACKGROUNDS, NATIONALITIES, AND ABILITIES CAME
TOGETHER TO ENJOY A SPECTACULAR EVENT IN A SUMMER
THAT WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. THE SPIRIT OF THE
SPECIAL OLYMPICS MOVEMENT HAS A POWER THAT
CANNOT BE IMAGINED UNTIL YOU COME DIRECTLY INTO
CONTACT WITH IT."
H.E. BERTIE AHERN,
PRIME MINISTER (TAOISEACH) OF THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND
