Prince Harry shares his 'excitement' after major announcement

Prince Harry has shared his ‘excitement’ after his Invictus Games Foundation made a major announcement about the games in South Korea.

The charity has announced on its social media that South Korea will host 2029 games.

Following a very competitive international bidding process, the Invictus Games Foundation’s Board has selected Daejeon as the successful bid.

The next stage will see the Foundation and the Daejeon 2029 organising team work together to finalise the Event Hosting Agreement, after which detailed planning will begin, as they are set to take place with 12 sports from 6–15 October 2029 and bring together around 550 competitors from 26 nations supported by 1,100 family members and friends.

Commenting on it, Prince Harry said, "Today's announcement is a defining moment for the Invictus Movement.

"We are delighted to announce Daejeon, South Korea as the host of the 2029 Invictus Games and, on behalf of the Invictus Games Foundation, we are so excited to work together.”

According to Hello, Prince Harry further said, "As the first Asian nation selected to host the Games, the Republic of Korea represents an exciting new chapter in our journey to ensure that more wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans can benefit from the power of sport and the strength of the Invictus community."
