All athletes are welcome to the Gay Games

Despite recent bans in the United States and ongoing discussions in several other countries about restricting participation of trans women in sports events, the Federation of Gay Games (FGG) stands in solidarity with all transgender and non-binary athletes

The Federation of Gay Games will continue to stand firmly in allowing all athletes to participate and compete in the sport that they wish and in the gender that they choose to identify as.

Our fundamental values of participation, personal best and above all inclusion means everyone is welcome to compete as they choose and we look forward to the next Gay Games in Valencia, Spain, June 2026.
