The CSIT World Sports Games

The World Sports Games (WSG) are an international major event taking place every two years and welcoming up to 6000 participants. It is full of competitive and non-competitive sports, cultural exchange and fun. WSG are not multisports games for top athletes, but for all amateurs - young & old, men & women - from different countries and cultures all over the world. Not only sports competitions are in the foreground, but also organising a huge festival with the objective of gathering sports friends, as a worldwide family, to advance the making of lifelong friendships, the exchange of information, know-how and experiences within the specific sport or sports-overlapping.

THE SPIRIT OF CSIT

The WSG are an open event for amateur sportsmen with thousands of participants each edition. They are based on the idea of our former International Workers' Olympiads of the 1920s/30s and create a unique atmosphere of tolerance, respect, sustainability & fair play. Everyone - no matter if CSIT member or non-member organisations, partners, individual athletes, governmental bodies, trade unions or companies are allowed to take part. No one is excluded.

These are the ingredients that make the WSG an international and festival-like sports week you will never forget!
