The 2023 Special Olympics World Summer Games are a multi-sport event for athletes with intellectual disabilities in the tradition of the Special Olympics movement. The bidding process for identifying and selecting a host for the upcoming 2023 Special Olympics World Games was started in 2017.[1][2][3]
Host selection[edit]
The World Games bid process is open to all Special Olympics Programs around the world in conjunctions with the nation or cities in their location. There are currently 223 Special Olympics national and state programs with more than 5.6 million athletes. The first expressions of interest were due back to Special Olympics headquarters by mid-December 2017. A structured process will occur throughout 2018 and the successful bid will be ratified and announced in twelve months. The host country will be announced in November 2018 by the Special Olympics International Board of Directors.[2]
The cities of Berlin, Germany and Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia have both applied to be host countries for the 2023 Special Olympics World Summer Games.
