About the Games

• 18-27 August 2023 
• University of Birmingham 

The Games, due to take place from 18-27 August 2023, will be held at the University of Birmingham, across the Edgbaston area and wider region.

The IBSA World Games are the largest high-level international event for athletes with visual impairments, with more than 1000 competitors from more than 70 nations. 

Staged every four years the World Games are the pinnacle of the international calendar outside of the Paralympic Games. With three Paralympic and eight non-Paralympic sports, for some athletes it is the highest level they can compete at. 

We are excited to showcase elite level goalball and for our GB teams to compete on home ground in this prestigious event.

Stay tuned for more information on how to volunteer, watch the games and get involved!
