Cheerleading/dance competitions, basketball games, and baseball games occur annually at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Walt Disney World.
In a new announcement, Walt Disney World shared that they would be using the complex for an amazing event.
The Department of Defense Warrior Games announced on Instagram that their 2022 Department of Defense Warrior Games would be hosted at ESPN Wide World of Sports, from August 19th to 28th.
If this event sounds familiar to you, it’s probably because it was supposed to occur at the complex back in 2021. However, due to COVID-19, the event was canceled. Walt Disney World shared that the event “celebrates the resiliency and dedication of wounded, ill, and injured active duty and U.S. military service members.” The athletes — including those from international allied nations — “will compete in adaptive sporting events such as wheelchair basketball, cycling, indoor rowing, and sitting volleyball among others during the games.”
