"The Challenge Never Ends"

The International Masters Games Association (IMGA) was constituted in 1995 from member International Federations to be the representative body of Masters sport worldwide and to promote lifelong competition, friendship and understanding between mature sportspeople, regardless of age, gender, race, religion, or sport status.

The aim is to support the Olympic movement & promote the ’sport for all’ philosophy of the Olympic Charter by:

- Promoting and encouraging mature athletes from all over the world to practice sports regularly and to participate in Masters Games, with the awareness that competitive sport can continue throughout life and improve personal fitness level.

- Organising international multi-sports events for mature sports men and women. These Masters Events offer physical activity while stimulating
social interaction in a festival atmosphere. They have no qualification requirements, other than the minimum age limits set by the international sports federations. There are no national teams or national representatives. Together athletes get to share a cultural and social experience while setting an example for peers and younger generations.

- Promoting friendship and understanding among mature sports people, regardless of age, gender, race, religion, or sport status.
