What are the Invictus Games?

The Invictus Games are a Paralympic-style sporting event specifically designed for wounded, injured, and sick service personnel and veterans. The games are held on average every two years in a major world city.


A Platform for Healing

The Invictus Games go beyond athletic competition. They serve as a powerful symbol of hope and resilience, showcasing the remarkable journeys of veterans overcoming physical and mental challenges. Participation in sports helps with rehabilitation, fostering a sense of community and purpose.


Prince Harry's Role

Prince Harry, a veteran himself who served in Afghanistan, co-founded the Invictus Games in 2014. He remains a passionate patron of the Invictus Games Foundation, working tirelessly to secure funding, raise awareness, and support the games' mission.



Games and Beyond

The Invictus Games Foundation offers more than just a sporting event. Through their "We Are Invictus" app, they provide veterans with year-round access to sporting opportunities and a supportive online community. Additionally, grant programs offer financial aid to assist veterans in achieving their goals.


A Bright Future

The Invictus Games continue to grow, attracting more nations and participants each edition.  With Prince Harry at the helm, the Invictus Games Foundation is certain to keep inspiring the world for years to come.
