The organizers of the 11th edition of The World Games announced April 22 that the international multi-sport event will become The World Games 2022 Birmingham.
The Magic City will play host to The World Games 2022 Birmingham from July 7-17, 2022.
More than 3,600 athletes and about 100,000 visitors from around the world are expected at the event.
In addition, event organizers will need more than 3,000 volunteers to help bring the event off successfully.
Registration for volunteers, which began in November, is open.
“Our volunteers will have the once in a lifetime opportunity to experience this amazing event from the inside, make connections and deliver our famous Southern hospitality to visitors from all over the world,” TWG2022 CEO Nick Sellers said in a new release.
Volunteers selected for the program will complete eight hours of training and will have the opportunity to determine their schedules based on the needs of the event.
