After eight years Sue Harvey left the Executive Committee of the International World Games Association (IWGA).

IWGA President Ron Froehlich bid farewell to the officer from Great Britain, who withdraws from the Executive Committee by her own decision, and thanked her for the services rendered to The World Games family so far. 'With her expertise and her passion for sport and athletes, Vice President Sue Harvey contributed to the positive development of The World Games in the new millennium.'

He pointed out that, as the former British champion in orienteering, she has always maintained an overview—also in complicated situations. Even in the future the IWGA will continue to rely on her knowledge and experience as a sports official. Sue Harvey is Honorary President of the International Orienteering Federation. In the New Year Honors List 2010 Sue was awarded the MBE for services to Orienteering and to the communities of Doune and Deanston.

The hosts of the upcoming edition of The World Games, the city of Cali and its partners, extend their first welcome from the official website www.theworldgames2013.com!

Pascual Guerrero Stadium

Cali brings considerable experience to the challenging task of putting on The World Games in South America for the first time ever. Previously host to Pan American, South American and National Games, the city has embarked on a number of renovation projects to update its sporting infrastructure in time for 2013. A revamped main stadium serves as a venue for the FIFA U-20 World Cup to be held in Colombia in 2011 already.
