Unfortunately, the Invictus Games The Hague 2020 has been rescheduled.
The Invictus Games Foundation and Organising Committee for the Invictus Games The Hague 2020 have made the difficult decision to postpone the Games due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It isn't possible to stage the event as planned from 9 to 16 May 2020. Whilst we understand how disappointing this news is, our top priority has always been the health and well-being of our participants, supporters, and staff.
IGF and Organising Committee are working with all participating nations to ensure the Games are rescheduled for some time in the future.
The Invictus Games aims to harness the power of sport to inspire recovery and support rehabilitation for wounded, injured or sick servicemen and women.
Created by Prince Harry, the Invictus Games is an international adaptive multi-sport event. It also helps to generate a wider understanding and respect for the Armed Forces personnel injured in service.
The first Invictus Games was held in London in 2014 and have subsequently been held in Orlando, Toronto and Sydney. The next Games will take place in The Hague in May 2020. The UK Delegation is delivered by The Ministry of Defence, The Royal British Legion and Help for Heroes.
The Invictus UK Trials are currently taking place in Sheffield, from 22-26 July. The trials will see 350 wounded, injured or sick military serving and ex-serving personnel compete in nine sports including athletics, wheelchair rugby and swimming. Those who compete in the Trials can put themselves forward for consideration to become part of Team UK for the Invictus Games The Hague 2020.
"My friends and family have gone through this whole journey with me."
To have them by my side at the Games is my chance to make them proud again. I wouldn’t be here without them.
We're proud to support the families, friends and carers of the Invictus Games UK Team.
This includes coordinating travel, accommodation and tickets for those attending, as well as providing welfare support.
We know that behind every team member, there are so many people who have helped get them to the start line. A life-changing injury or illness has a huge impact on both the individual and those around them – and we make sure they can be there to cheer them on every step of the way.
"I can’t explain how much the Games have helped us."
Meeting people through Invictus who are in similar situations was amazing. It’s given my husband and I the best support network we could have asked for.
The Royal British Legion works in partnership with the Ministry of Defence and Help for Heroes to deliver the Invictus Games UK delegation.
