ABOUT THE GAMES

Presentation

The CISM 5th Military World Games will be the greatest military sports event ever in Brazil. They will take place in the city of Rio de Janeiro in July 2011, and will gather about 7 thousand participants. There will be approximately 4,900 athletes and 1,800 delegates from more than 100 countries. The competition will comprise 20 sports, some of them appearing for the first time in military world games, such as beach volleyball. Brazil is to participate with 250 athletes, and will be represented in all sports.

In May, 2007, during the meeting of the International Military Sports Council in Oagadugu (Burkina Faso/Africa), Brazil was chosen to host the CISM 5th Military World Games. The country competed with Turkey for the right to hold the Games. In the final judgment, the big sports infrastructure already implemented in Rio for the Pan-American Games, besides the Brazilian expertise at holding major events and the support granted to the Project by the brazilian authorities were decisive for the Brazilian victory.

History

The Military World Games were created by CISM, and take place every four years, in the year preceding the SummerOlympic Games. The first competition was held in Rome, in 1995. More than 4,000 athletes from 93 countries competed in 17 different sports. The next Games were held in Zagreb (Croatia, 1999), Catania (Italy, 2003) and Hyderabad (India, 2007). In all, 16,000 athletes participated in those competitions.

CISM
The International Military Sports Council was created in 1948, shortly after the end of World War II, by five countries: Belgium, Denmark, France, Luxembourg and Holland. CISM was born within a spirit of pacifism and integration of the nations, after the conflicts that swept Europe in the first half of the twentieth century. Today, CISM has 130 member countries of all continents. It gathers more than 1 million athletes around the world. It is the third most important sports entity of the world, only surpassed by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

CDMB

The Brazilian Military Sports Commission (CDMB) represents Brazil before the CISM. The CDMB was created in 1956. Its headquarters is in Brasília, the capital city of Brazil. CDMB belongs to the structure of the Ministry of Defense, and its mission is to organize and conduct, with the collaboration of the Single Forces, the sports competitions among the Armed Forces. CDMB is also assigned with the responsibility of making proposals, norms and procedures concerning the military sports activities.
