The United World Games are an international youth sports tournament for ambitious clubs, teams and regional selections. In other words: open to everyone who plays sport with serious ambition and pure joy. In 2027, that means thousands of athletes from around 30 nations competing in eleven sports, right on Lake Wörthersee in Klagenfurt, one of the most stunning regions in Austria.
11 sports, thousands of athletes from around 30 countries—at the UWG, clubs and teams from all over the world compete against one another on an international stage.
A tent city right in the middle of the stadium, the Players Party, and an opening ceremony featuring a parade of flags representing all nations make the tournament an experience that leaves a lasting impression.
Klagenfurt am Wörthersee makes sure there's never a dull moment, even before and after the games: a dip in the lake, a visit to Minimundus, and many more attractions await you.
One World – A Thousand Friends
A place that seems tailor-made for the United World Games
Klagenfurt and Lake Wörthersee provide the perfect setting for a multisport event of this magnitude: mountains, a lake, and plenty of space for outdoor sports. Every tournament visit becomes a journey you’ll remember for years to come—not just the results. Your team will benefit from shared experiences and fun times before and after your tournaments!
Our side events will turn your UWG experience into one that your team will remember for a long time to come.
You come for the sports and go home with friends from all over the world. Cultural exchange happens naturally at the UWG: on the sidelines, in the food area, and while celebrating together after the final whistle. That’s the power of sports. That’s United in Sports.
