Greece is with us! The geographical reach of the International Inclusive Games 2027 continues to expand.
Friends, we are excited to share some wonderful news: another country has submitted a preliminary application to participate in the 4th International Festival of Adaptive Sports, "Impulse" — the International Inclusive Games 2027. That country is the Hellenic Republic (Greece)!
🏛 This holds a special significance for us. Greece is the birthplace of the Olympic Games—a land where, thousands of years ago, the very concepts of fair competition, respect for one’s opponent, and the triumph of the human spirit first emerged. Today, Greek athletes with disabilities continue this great tradition, proving that the true Olympic spirit knows no barriers. We are thrilled that the cradle of world sports has responded to "Impulse" and will become part of our inclusive movement.
🌍 Following Uganda—which was the first to join our international roster—Greece has become the second nation from abroad to sign on. Africa and Europe are now united, and this is only the beginning! Each new application helps transform the International Inclusive Games into a truly global celebration of sport, friendship, and equal opportunity.
🏟 As a reminder, the festival will take place in Nizhny Novgorod from June 11 to 15, 2027, across several venues: the Sovcombank Arena, the Sport Port complex, the VOLGA Arena, and the Rowing Canal. It will be five days filled with vibrant competition, new connections, and unforgettable experiences.
🤝 We thank our Greek colleagues for their trust and interest in the festival. We are confident that the experience and energy of the Greek delegation will enrich the International Inclusive Games program and offer spectators some truly remarkable sporting discoveries.
📩 We are still accepting preliminary applications! These submissions will determine which sports are officially accredited for the festival. Join us—together, we are creating a world of sport without boundaries. 🌐 Festival website: festimpulse.com
