Special Olympics World Games Berlin 2023



The Special Olympics World Games are the world's largest inclusive sports event. Thousands of athletes with intellectual disabilities compete together in 26 sports. Nine days of exciting and inspiring competitions, by athletes and for athletes.

From 17 to 25 June 2023, the Special Olympics World Games will take place in Berlin – the first time that Germany will host the Games!

We are looking forward to a colorful international festival of sports – with the aim of achieving greater recognition and social participation of people with intellectual disabilities in our society.

We are overwhelmed! The Special Olympics World Games Berlin 2023 were full of emotions, high-class sports and exuberant parties. Everyone experienced their own personal highlights and gained unforgettable experiences. Let us reminisce together.

On the eighth and last day of competitions, our athletes were once again in action in five sports and gave their best until the end.

The last award ceremonies followed before everyone spent the evening dancing, singing and celebrating together at the Closing Ceremony at the Brandenburger Tor.

But not only all the athletes gave their full commitment, but also all the people who helped in the background and made this great event possible in the first place.

We especially thank the irreplaceable volunteers, sports officials, visitors and simply everyone who was part of the Special Olympics World Games Berlin 2023!

To underline what everyone has achieved together, here are a few facts and figures:

6,500 athletes
18,000 volunteers from 126 countries
9,000 family members
3,000 coaches and support staff
100,000 tickets sold for the competitions
15,000 Healthy Athletes® screenings
4002 medals (1st-3rd place), 6,670 ribbons (4th-8th place)
71 translators for Plain Language
1,100 referees


All this and more made this unique experience possible for everyone, but especially for our athletes.
