E N T R Y I N F O R M A T I O N MESSAGE FROM IWAS PRESIDENT R U D I V A N D E N A B B E E L E Dear IWAS Member Nations, International Wheelchair & Amputee Sports Federation (IWAS) are delighted to invite the athletes, coaches and team staff of the IWAS Membership and affiliated organisations to the IWAS World Games 2021 to be hosted from 7th-13th October 2021 in Vila Real de Santo Antonio, Portugal. An exciting mix of athletics, powerlifting and making its IWAS Games debut, CP football, form the 2021 sports programme, as we return to the picturesque location of the 2017 edition of the Games. The hybrid powerlifting competition supported by World Para Powerlifting will be the first of its kind at an IWAS World Games and we look forward to exploring this new format to open up competition opportunities to more athletes around the world. We will welcome athletes that missed many international opportunities in 2020, rising stars looking to the start of a new Paralympic cycle and as always, those making their international debuts. Following what has been a challenging year of uncertainty for sport worldwide, we look forward to welcoming your teams to Portugal and to another successful IWAS World Games!
