Having been looked after very well by UN City Copenhagen, the flag embarks on its journey to Vienna, where it will inspire the next iteration of the Games in 2023.
Thank you for the hospitality Copenhagen, it’s been an incredible adventure!

Hi Steve, is there any hope that the UNIAG 2023 will hold this year?
There is indeed hope. We hope to have a final decision on location in the next two weeks and will likely host in mid October. We had some setbacks but we have not given up.
In which country held these games?
When will registration open for IAG 2023?
I m ready for IAG 2023 let me know the date exactly and i m waiting for the invitation.
I hope you would be able to announce it ahead of time to enable us apply for the visa considering the lengthy (most of the time 2-3 months needed) procedures taken in granting Schengen visas. Wishing you all success in finding the best location.
Will UNRWA be able to participate? Does it have a focal point? as It’s not there in the drop list.
Wonderful! hope this year part of the chess team.
Any news on IAG 2023? 🙂
Hey Olivier, not great news but this is what we received 13 February 🙁 They mention Autumn, but can’t see that happening as changing the whole yearly schedule for the games is not a good thing. I hope this helps.
Dear Cora-Lee,
Thanks for reaching out, we fully understand your concern. We have been heavily engaged with a number of potential hosting sites but regretfully we did not manage to reach an agreement. It is important for us that the Games provide a good sense of community but also provide good value for money. As our requirements did not meet some hosts expectations, we could not reach an agreement. Others cancelled negotiations due to political and security reasons.
The situation we find ourselves in is quite unprecedented, but we fast come to understand that economics have changed significantly in the past years. Both hospitality industries and municipal project managers have become more risk averse than ever, which is our main challenge in negotiation.
Myself, Imed, and Dani are working hard on securing a deal in an interesting location. You know how dedicated we and how passionate we are about the Games, so please trust we are doing our best. Given timeline though, we are considering an early autumn date as we do want to give everyone enough time for planning and securing travel documents.
Thank you for your understanding, we hope to have more frequent updates soon.
All the best from Vienna

Hey Coralee, many thanks for the update. Not great news indeed 🙁
I want to know if it possible to include Dodgeball on this year Games?
I can’t wait to be part of it! Copenhagen’s experience inspired me to participate every year.
See you there
Salut Danielle!! I’d love to work together on that; I already have some people and I think we may already have enough people between your contacts and mine!
Hi, is this Ileana from ETES 🙂?
I couldn’t find responds on the questions, thoughts, ..etc shared by colleagues interested in 2023 IAG, is there any other channel to get response regarding the arrangement for Vienna 2023 IAG ?
Dear Qais,
We are still finalizing the arrangements for the 2023 IAG. Unfortunately we have no location to announce yet. We will post all available information on the website, as soon as available.
Thanks and all the best
Steven
Thanks Steven,
Really Appreciated
Happy New Year and Wish you and all people all the Best
Thanks so much, Steven, and thank you Qais for asking! The games will still be in Vienna, yes? If I want to participate in tennis and am at UNHQ, do I need to bring other competitors for that event, or will a team of one do? 😀
Hi Ileana, it is possible to go on your own and you will be matched up with another UN location: I have done this in the past. But maybe we could try to get a UNHQ team going? I have contacts!
Eh oui Danielle, c’est bien moi! :))) santamariai at work!
Thanks, Ileana, for the location confirmation, hope we could know the date in earliest for proper management, especially for those how have some restrictions in travelling due to conflicts and national passport requirement.

Dear Steven,
Is there at least confirmation on dates? This would help planning even before other details are known.
Thanks a lot!
Sinisa
Really appreciated. Looking forward to receiving new updates.
Is there any update on IAG 2023?
Shared information confirmed on next autumn but still no specific date.
Is there any race related to short or long distance running?
I think so
Steve, I would like to know, approximately, the date of the 2023 games in Austria. I am from New York. My family is planning a cruise in the spring. It would be helpful to have an idea about the dates of the games, in order to avoid a conflict.
True. It will help to make timely arrangements like flight tickets, Visa accessing and the likes.

Is there a possibility to get short distance disciplines for athletics? Not everyone can run the 10-12 km. Please consider 100m, 200m and 400m. The relay can’t be the only track discipline.
Thank you 🙏🏽
Me too I am working for UNV. I would like to participate in the games for the next year 2023. How can I register ?
Hi, I have a question that am I eligible to apply to the next IAG in Vienna as a previous UNDP employee (2009 – 2016) and one of the IAG participants in NY IAG 2014? If the answer is yes, please provide or direct me to a link information about the fees, accommodation, and other expenses. I live in the US, CA right now.
I WISH I WILL JOIN IN ANY CASE IN 2023.
I missed this year’s tournament. I hope I will participate next year. I am fro. UNECA Addis Ababa, is that possible to register for more than one game?
Dear Seyoum,
When participating in the Games you can only commit to one sport. To find all the rules and requirements, you are already on the right website. Have a look around and let us know if you have any questions.
best regards
Steven
Dear Steven,
Thank you for the information. How can I get detailed information about
1. what is needed by my side like Hotel accommodations
2. Information about registration, UNLP,
3. The types of games
4. Rules
Rules and sports can be found on the main website General and Discipline Rules of the UN Inter-Agency Games. Info on the next venue, dates, and details will be available here soon when ready.
Thank you! It was another lovely experience. I am blessed to meet the beautiful people of Denmark, grateful for their hospitality and friendliness. Congratulations to the organizers, you put together yet another great UN game despite the challenges following a pandemic. The UN family came together in the spirit of friendship and competition. Looking forward to Vienna 2023!
I want to say a big thank you to the organizers of the Inter Agency Games 2022 and special thanks to the Atheletics coordinator Lucrezia, she and her team did a wonderful job and thank so much. Hope to see all of you in Vienna next year.
It’s been wonderful. We won’t miss Vienna 2023. It will be amazing.
It is truly an awesome experience. We will rock it again come 2023.
My few input, let there be souvenir like T shirts, water flask and cap. It will make more sense than o ly water flask.
Cheers, see us again Chau.
A very big thank you to UN City for an amazing 5 days on behalf of FAO attendees. Everything was spot on and the darts venue couldn’t have been better. I would say one of the best in 20 years.
One disappointment, the Trophy? Going green is important but this thing is just rubbish in quality and you can’t even read what is written, besides the fact it doesn’t stand. Unfortunately a waste of money.
One suggestion for Vienna next year, smaller town where all UN staff can meet up and watch other sports.
Fully agree with both remarks from Coralee. Regarding next year let’s try a small town or venue where all sports can be together. It is powerful in the opening and closing ceremony where everybody is together! Big thank you once again for these amazing days together!
Thank you for the valuable feedback!! I’m sure our UN City friends will appreciate it 🙂
Südstadt is my recommendation. All games could be held in BSFZ Südstadt (https://suedstadt.bsfz.at/die-anlage/) plus Golf & Country Club Brunn (https://www.gccbrunn.at/)
Thank you very much this year I missed , next year will be participate in chess and volleyball inshallah.
Thanks your very much this year I missed , next year will be participate in chess and volleyball.
if we get a visa will will go
Thanks a lot for the great opportunity, I hope I will be there as a volleyball player next year
I am a darts player for WFP South Africa, all was fine. I think we need to have representatives from SA as well to balance all the country members
Please keep me posted. Missed the games this year but hope to be there next year.
Wonderful!!!!
Hope I will be on the rendez-vous.
I am a player in Ungame, My husband and I wanted to take part in the challenge of Ungame and we want to be familiar with the culture of Denmark but I am so sorry for Denmark’s country because the Embassy of Denmark did not let us take part without any reason.
I hope the Un will take part in this match in another country next year.
So, it is confirmed for early autumn… Thanks
Francisco. –
