The World Games
Since the very first edition in Santa Clara, USA, in 1981, The World Games have become the second-most important global multi-sport event in the world. The World Games is a multi-sport event for sports and disciplines that are not in the programme of the Olympic Games. The World Games is the international showcase that positions the world’s best athletes, the host city and the partners and sponsors at the heart of world sport. With the event taking place only every four years, the 11-day event aspires to equal and exceed the importance of World Championships for the represented sports and disciplines. For The World Games 2025, approximately 4,000 world-class athletes from over 100 countries will compete in 253 medal events for gold.

The Cheerleading discipline (Pom Doubles) will be playing round 1 this Thursday, August 15th and Friday, August 16th in hopes of continuing onto round 2 – the final day of competition. Although time zones are not aligned with USA standard days, the 2025 World Games can be viewed here.
