The 9th World Games took place from July 25 to August 4, 2013 in Cali , Colombia .

history

Originally, Duisburg and Düsseldorf were already set as the host cities. The two German cities thus prevailed against 20 competitors. With a council resolution of December 8, 2008, the city of Duisburg canceled the hosting of the event due to the budget freeze for the city of Duisburg imposed by the district president.
