WORLD MASTERS GAMES HISTORICAL RECORDS Since 1985, The International Masters Games Association (IMGA), a non-profit organization based in Lausanne, Switzerland, and founded in 1995, and its predecessor organization, together with hosting Committees, have organized the World Masters Games (WMG), World Winter Masters Games (WWMG), European Masters Games (EMG), and Americas Masters Games (AMG), with an Asian Pacific Masters Games (APMG) planned for 2018. The Games encompass a wide range of sports. The aim of the IMGA is to support the Olympics movement and promote the 'sport for all' philosophy of the Olympic Charter. Participants compete for themselves - there are no country delegations. Beyond the age requirement and membership in that sport's governing body, there are no competition qualification requirements. Age categories range from 30+ to 80+ for squash, which has been included as a sport, in every WMG. Toronto staged the first World Masters Games in 1985 (WMG 1), Edmonton staged them in 2005 (WMG 6), Quebec City staged the Winter Games in 2015 (WWMG 2), and Vancouver put on the Americas Masters Games in 2016. Squash is always played at the Summer Games.
