"VAN" (Sports Desk - 06.08.2025) :: Anticipation is building as athletes, fans, and officials gear up for the grand Opening Ceremony of the 12th edition of The World Games, which will take place on Thursday at 20:00 (local time) at the Tianfu International Conference Center in Chengdu. With a mix of tradition, spectacle, and international unity, many are calling it “the first big party of the Games.”
From dragons and pandas to dazzling performances, expectations are high for what promises to be a memorable evening. For athletes, the chance to march together under their nation’s flag is a moment of pride and emotion — a celebration of unity before the competitions begin.
“This is going to be an amazing show,” said Patrik Lemoran, from the Philippine Floorball Team, echoing the sentiment shared by many athletes. He and teammate Noah Larano are embracing the unique spirit of The World Games. “It’s different from World Championships,” said Larano. “We support our compatriots at other sports, and they cheer for us — that’s what makes this experience so special.”
