Recommended Posts

Birmingham will host the 2021 World Games, an 11-day event held every four years that includes more than 35 sports not part of the Olympics. Birmingham will be the first U.S. city to host the games since Santa Clara, California held the inaugural event in 1981. The games could have an economic impact of $256.5 million for the Birmingham region.

 

Among the sports featured in the World Games are American football, lacrosse, archery, billiards, bowling, kickboxing, Sumo wrestling and tug of war.

 

It'll be interesting to see what kinds of new venues are built to support this. Go Birmingham!
