The Games will be hosted by TransDia Sport Deutschland e.V. which won a competitive bid to host the Games.
The Games are owned by the World Transplant Games Federation. A unanimous decision of the trustees awarded the Games to Dresden.

Competitors must have been transplanted for at least 1 year, with stable graft function, be medically fit and have trained for the events in which they have entered.
If a potential competitor has been transplanted for at least 6 months, with stable graft function, has been training and has permission from his own doctor, his entry may be considered by the WTGF medical committee and be allowed.

The Games have two objectives: to promote organ donation and encourage more people across the world to register and support donation; and to help recipients improve their health and fitness around their transplanted organ.
The Games have been held on the continents of Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Africa and Australia. This will be the first time the Games will be staged in Dresden. They were last staged in Perth, Australia, in 2023. The last time the Games were held in Europe was in Newcastle, England, in 2019.
The World Transplant Games is only made possible by the support of government, corporate and philanthropic partners. See Partners here.

Yes, please have a look at https://wtg2025.com/special-lufthansa-group-airlines-fares/.
You can enter sample times and numbers here and log in again after booking your flights or trains and change the data.
Yes, participants can book breakfast on site at the hotel. The prices for breakfast depend on the hotel.
As all hotels are located in the city centre and public transport is included in the package price, parking is not included.
Not at the moment. We offer single rooms in cat 1, 3, 4 + caravan
Only one full payment is possible for single payments. If the team manager have indicated that they do not wish to make an individual payment only, the participant could pay the team manager by the beginning of June.
We need the correct passport number to create the invitation letter at the end of the registration process. To complete the registration anyway, click ‚No‘ in response to the visa question and contact the WTG2025 team registration@wtg2025.com later.
All event tickets are exclusively included in the Full Package. The cultural evening activities take place outdoors and are freely accessible. The Gala Dinner and catering at the Opening Ceremony are not included in the Lite Package. We do not plan to sell additional tickets for the Gala Dinner or Opening Ceremony catering.
All athletes must apply as participants and be confirmed by the team manager. Parents of junior athletes create a profile for their own and add the children as family members.
We are working hard to find a good solution. Please continue to wait. We will inform all team managers about news.
The username is assigned automatically when the account is created. Before the password can be set, the username is in the confirmation email.
You can change the booking of the Medical Health Insurance, the package and the hotel category selection in your profile. It is important to go through the registration process to the end so that you receive a cancellation invoice and a new invoice. If there is a credit balance, we will transfer it back to you.
If you would like to cancel the entire booking, please contact mail@wtg2025.com
For cost and effort reasons, it is not possible for participants to also help as volunteers on individual days. We want to give participants the best chance to enjoy the event and support the athletes in the audience at other sports competitions.
Yes, all athletes must book a package for accreditation. If accommodation has already been organized independently, the Lite package can be booked.
In order to be accredited as a supporter for the WTG25, supporters must also book a package and pay the participation fee.
The Dresden Local Organizing Committee (LOC) has carefully set registration fees based on a detailed budget to ensure the Games remain financially sustainable while meeting all commitments. To keep athlete fees as affordable as possible, the LOC has prioritized subsidies for athletes over reducing supporter package costs. We hope our supporters will view their package purchases as a gesture of donation, crowdfunding, or sponsorship – a heartfelt way to contribute and be part of this remarkable journey.
There are two ways for supporters to register. Either they create their own profile as a supporter if they are of legal age and enter all the information themselves or an athlete creates a supporter as a family member. If the athlete adds the supporter, the supporter does not receive an independent profile. All information must then be taken from the athlete’s “main profile”. In order to create a supporter, information on insurance, visa, etc. is also requested.
In both cases, the team manager does not have to confirm a supporter separately. Only athletes need to be confirmed.
The person who has the main profile and is of legal age pays at the end of the registration process. If an athlete is added as an additional person, they must be confirmed separately by the team manager before they can complete their profile. Even without completing the profile of the additional athlete, the payment of the main profile can be completed. If the additional athlete completes their data after confirmation, the payment page will not appear again.
The participant can go back to his/her profile without paying and complete the missing data. The data should be saved until then. Only payment (for group payment via the group payment button and for individual payment with the direct payment) is considered a fixed booking.
Unfortunately, we cannot offer a discount for individual competitions only. The Full and Lite packages are calculated with the spirit of the games and community in mind, emphasizing the support of all participants. However, there will be a Donate Run on August 17, which is open to the public and free of charge. More information will follow.
