The World Transplant Games are an amazing way to celebrate organ donation on the world stage, represent your country and make friendships and memories to last a lifetime.

Athletes competing at the World Transplant Games have one thing in common; they’ve all had a successful organ transplant. By taking part, they join athletes from over 55 countries who compete at the largest sporting event for transplant recipients in the world.

The World Transplant Games are held every two years in different cities. Staged by the World Transplant Games Federation, the Games unite thousands of transplant recipients from across the globe.

The next World Transplant Games will be held from the 17th -24th of August 2025 in Dresden, Germany.
