12TH WORLD TRANSPLANT WINTER GAMES

BORMIO, ITALY
03 – 08 MARCH 2024


Located in Northern Italy, Bormio is one of Europe’s top ski destinations and provides the perfect location for the 12th World Transplant Winter Games. Hosted by ANED Sport, who won a competitive bid to host, we invite you to join us on the slopes for a week of celebration, competition and gratitude to donors and their families.

See you on the slopes in Italy.

Second Chance Champions continues the World Transplant Games Legacy

The legacy of the 2023 World Transplant Games held in Perth continues with a television documentary Second Chance Champion, which follows a group of transplant recipients participating in the Games.

Transplant Australia collaborated with Dentsu Creative and Creative Director Liam Bagnall, to showcase the success of recipients overcoming challenges, which serves as a significant reminder of the impact of organ and tissue donation.

Initially aired in Australia in November 2023, our global audience can look forward to its international release in early 2024.

What

do we do?

For over 40 years the World Transplant Games Federation has been staging international sporting events and promoting education around transplantation in order to promote the physical success of transplant surgery and the need to raise public awareness and increase organ donation. Through our various initiatives we aim to highlight the importance of physical activity and healthy lifestyle in the long term management and well being of transplant recipients.

We achieve these objectives through the hosting of the The Summer and Winter World Transplant Games, along with Education platforms (medical research, conferences and physical well being culture) and a strong communications programme geared to network with medical professionals and engage the entire transplant community.
