Get ready to participate in the IBSA WORLD GAMES 2023!

IBSA World Games, organised by the Birmingham Local Organising Committee (LOC) in conjunction with the LTA and IBTA, will be held from 18th -27th August 2023 in Birmingham, UK.

IBTA has been commissioned to collect the expressions of interest forms from all players, including those from the host country. The deadline for submitting expressions of interest is 31st January 2023.

Completing this entry form is no guarantee of participating in the IBSA World Games but mainly for sharing your interest in attending the games. As per the entry guidelines for the IBSA World Games, Country Representatives, Players, Coaches, Carers, and Officials are invited to complete the entry form. Information about your expression of interest will be shared with the IBSA World Games organisers and your IBTA Country Representative for administrative purposes and communication follow up. If your country does not have an IBTA representative, your entry will still be taken into account.

The games organisers will use the initial information collected during this phase for event planning purposes. Eligibility and selection criteria are to be met to be able to attend the games. Both IBSA and IBTA classification rules will apply.

Please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) or the Event Information Guide for further information pertaining to dates, venues, accommodation, costs and more.
