Deputy Sports Minister Jarosław Stawiarski said the World Games will “definitely” be Poland’s largest sporting event this year.
“We’re very happy they will be held in Poland because it is a chance for non-Olympic sporting associations to be shown to a wider audience,” he said.
The World Games have been held every four years since 1981. (vb/pk)
