The football event will also double as the Cerebral Palsy Football Under-19 World Championships, with the aim of the inaugural tournament being to give people with cerebral palsy the opportunity to take part in a world-class sporting event and achieve their potential.

The Opening Ceremony is scheduled to take place on August 9, which will carry a theme of “aspirations” detailing the journey the athletes will have made to be part of the World Games, with the Closing Ceremony set for August 15.

The Closing Ceremony will carry a theme of “transformations”, where athletes will divulge their experiences of the 10-day event and their sporting achievements.

Nottingham hosted the inaugural CPISRA World Games in 1989, which were known as the Robin Hood CP World Games.
