However, that was not to be, and 2020 was a year that brought many disappointments and uncertainties to our Members and athletes. The IWAS World Games 2020 due to be held in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand was set to be a tremendous success and the biggest IWAS Games ever! With thirteen sports on the programme, some of which making their debut at an IWAS Games, the excitement for the event was felt across the Membership. Unfortunately, this event was the first of many casualties of the disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The disruption was also felt by the IWAS Sports. IWAS Wheelchair Fencing hosted the only competition of the year in Eger, Hungary in February 2020 while IWAS Powerchair Hockey also began 2020 with a success at the IPCH Euro Stars 2020 Tournament held in Lignano Sabbiadoro, Italy.
