Welcome you all to the 4th IBSA World Games.
I will be more than happy to share with you in the World Games the finest instance of sports regarded as the most significant indication of universal friendship and host you in one of the most beautiful cities of our country, Antalya visited by millions of tourists every year.
I know that the 4th IBSA World Games offering 8 different sports for blind and visually impaired athletes will not only be a sporting event but also set a great example for fair play. With the Games we will have a chance to show that people of different cultures can gain remarkable experience,form a deep and lasting friendship and to prove how high their level of achievement is.
Over the past months our administrators, IBSA Management Committee and the Governing Body of the Turkish Blind Sports Federation have been making considerable efforts in order to offer you the opportunity to do sports in our sport halls designed in a modern fashion and equipped with latest technology and to experience Turkish hospitality.
I would like to thank to all that contributed to this prestigious event and wish good luck and success to all athletes, administrators, technical delegates and referees.
Sincerely,
