About the 2020 Invictus Games
In February 2018, on the initiative of former army general Mart de Kruif, the Netherlands made a successful bid in London to bring the Games to the Netherlands in 2020. In 2020, it will be exactly 75 years ago since the Netherlands was liberated and the Second World War ended. The Dutch branch of the organization will soon come out with more information. The international sporting event has been held annually since 2014.
