The 2023 edition of The Invictus Games is scheduled to be held in Düsseldorf. It’s the first time this unique international sporting event will be held in Germany, and it is set to take place from September 9th to 16th.
The 6th edition of The Invictus Games in Düsseldorf aims to raise awareness and recognition for warriors who have been wounded, injured, or affected in body and spirit. The event is also supporting their journey of rehabilitation.

These participants will engage in competitions across ten categories under the theme “A HOME FOR RESPECT.”
