The Invictus Games are an international sporting event for wounded, injured, and sick servicemen and women, both serving and veteran. The games were founded by Prince Harry in 2014, and the first games were held in London in 2014. The Invictus Games have since been held in Orlando (2016), Toronto (2017), Sydney (2018), and The Hague (2020). The next Invictus Games will be held in Vancouver and Whistler, Canada in 2025.
The Invictus Games are an important event for a number of reasons. First, they provide a unique opportunity for wounded, injured, and sick servicemen and women to compete in a sporting event at a high level. Second, the games help to raise awareness of the challenges faced by wounded, injured, and sick servicemen and women. Third, the games promote the power of sport to inspire recovery and rehabilitation. The Invictus Games also have a significant economic impact on the host city. For example, the 2017 Invictus Games in Toronto generated an estimated $100 million in economic activity.
