What is CISM?

The International Military Sports Council (CISM) annually organises over twenty World Military Championships for different sports in which all member nations can take part. We also organize continental and regional competitions and every four years the CISM Military World Summer Games and most recently CISM Military World Winter Games are held. These are multisport events organized by CISM in conjunction with CISM member nations.

The 1st CISM Military World Summer Games were held in 1995 in Rome. 93 nations competed in 17 different sporting events to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the end of the 2nd World War.

The 1st edition of the CISM Military World Winter Games was held in 2010 in Italy, in Aosta Valley Region, where 43 different countries and more than 800 athletes have competed at the highest level in winter sports.
