There are only 100 days left until the Opening Ceremony of the Special Olympics World Games takes place at Olympiastadion Berlin. A good occasion to give you a look behind the scenes, to wallow in anticipation together and to provide you with the most important infos.
7,000 athletes from 190 delegations enter the Olympiastadion in front of tens of thousands of cheering people. What a goosebump moment! In exactly 100 days, on 17 June 2023, the time will come. The perfect occasion to stimulate our imagination together with a beautiful video and to think about this special moment full of anticipation:

Tickets for the Opening Ceremony are available here.
Fans in the Stands
Let us continue with our free fan engagement program "Fans in the Stands", which we talked about with our colleague Georgia Royes to give you some insights:
"If you're a school or sports club, an after school care, a senior's organization – any kind of group that exists is welcome to come along. The group must be 10 people or more."
