Welcome
For over 20 years the World Transplant Games Federation has been staging international sporting events for transplant athletes in order to demonstrate the physical success of transplant surgery and to raise awareness of the need to increase organ donation.
The Summer World Transplant Games take place every two years where over 1500 athletes representing some 69 countries compete at an extraordinarily high level. Many however just come to enjoy taking part at their own pace and welcome the opportunity to meet with other transplant recipients in an atmosphere of fun and friendship.
The World Transplant Games Federation is officially recognised by the International Olympic Committee.
The 17th World Transplant Games was held in Gold Coast, Australia in August 2009, following a wonderful Opening Ceremony with a parade of all the participating athletes being a major highlight.
The 18th World Transplant Games are due to take place in Goteborg, Sweden from 17th to 24th June 2011.
The Winter World Transplant Games take place in the intervening years.
The 7th Winter World Transplant Games and Nicholas Cup began in Sainte Foy Tarentaise, France on 17th January 2009 with a beautiful torch-lit apline Opening Ceremony.
Happy images from the Opening Ceremony - some of the teams who competed in Sainte Foy, Tarentaise.
The 8th Winter World Transplant Games will be held in Anzére, Switzerland in 2012.
