And the winner is ...? Dresden!
We are delighted and already full of anticipation that the World Transplant Games 2025 will be held in Dresden. It was a complex and exciting bidding process right up to the last minute. After a one-and-a-half year bidding competition for the best host destination, we were invited to Oxford for the presentation. There we were now joined by the Saxon state government, the Land Capital Dresden and the German transplant sports association TransDia Sport Deutschland e.V. successfully advocated for Dresden before the highest decision-making body of the World Federation of Transplant Sports.
"Dresden is good for the Games, the Games are good for Dresden. First-class sports facilities, short distances and well-established organisational structures have convinced the World Federation. Dresden is a modern top location for international sporting events. The approx. 2,000 athletes from all over the world coming to Dresden will feel at home in the state capital and find first-class conditions," the bid team.
The World Transplant Games have been held every two years since 1978. Approximately 2,000 athletes from more than 40 countries from all continents come together for one week to compete in various disciplines of athletics, cycling, swimming, tennis, table tennis and other sports. For the first time in their 40-year history, the World Games will take place in Germany.
Stay tuned! We will report intensively here about our heartfelt project and keep you up to date about the way ahead.
At this point we would also like to say a big thank you for the support in the application process to the Dresden-based consulting agency DIE ERFOLGSVISIONÄRE by Max Rothe.
