Founded in 2014 by Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, the 6th Invictus Games will be held in Düsseldorf, Germany. The goal of these Games are to give soldiers who are wounded, injured or ill in body and soul a greater awareness and recognition in society and to support their path in rehabilitation.
Adaptive sports events, like the Invictus Games and Department of Defense Warrior Games, highlight the exceptional physical skills and mental toughness of wounded, ill and injured active-duty and veteran service members and leverage the power of adaptive sports as part of their recovery journeys. Modified equipment and additional classification systems allow each athlete to compete, regardless of their injury or illness.
