World Combat Games 2019 The demise of the
SportAccord organisation, following a dispute with the
International Olympic Committee and the SportAccord president
Marius Vizer led to a temporary halt on the World Combat Games. The successor organisation,
Global Association of International Sports Federations or
GAISF took over the organisation of the event, and signed heads of agreement in November 2017 with official from Chinese Taipei for a 2019 edition of the event. However, it proved impossible to organise within the time frame, and the 2019 was shelved, with the intention of relaunching the event in 2021.
World Combat Games 2021 On May 10, 2019, GAISF announced that
Nur-Sultan,
Kazakhstan's capital city, had been awarded the
2021 World Combat Games. The Games will take place from May 3 to 9 in the capital city, which had recently been renamed from Astana. At the announcement, GAISF announced that event would henceforth adhere to a quadrennial timescale, with the next event, as yet unawarded, planned for 2025.
