FAQ

Please, make sure you’re covered by your own insurance in the sports events. All non-EU citizens must have a valid health insurance to cover eventual medical expenses. The organizer does not provide an insurance for the athletes during the WWMG Lombardia 2024.

Age groups are defined by the International Federations. Sports clubs, who are in charge of organizing the events, also decide the age groups in their specific discipline. Decisions are based on age groups in previous WWMG events, sports venues in the upcoming event and the projected number of participants in an age group.

The WWMG 2024 accreditation allows you to move around the Venues with the public transportation system. We have bus and train connections, however we recommend to have your accommodation in the same City of your Sport Venue.

Please have a look at “transportation” section here

Yes, you can take part as an accompanying guest or family member by paying the entry fee, which also covers the WWMG2024 pass and a welcome gift. Spectators in the venue are free of charge.

The system asks you to “Create a new Team” or to “Join an existing Team”.
If you want to Create a new Team, choose the Age Group/Event after carefully reading the event specific rules and regulations from the Sport Guide. Type in your Team Code and Team Name and enter the e-mails of the teammates you wish to invite. You must then click on Add Yourself as Team Member, if you are going to play in the team yourself. Verify that your details are correct and proceed the process with OK.
If you have received an invitation for an existing Team, you can enter by choosing the Join-section. There you can search for your team (details can be found in your invitation e-mail). Proceed through the process by filling in the asked information and going to the next step by clicking OK at the bottom of the screen.

Yes. This is for the accreditation. You’ll receive an WWMG2024 pass, that enables you to access your sports venues and to use the city’s public transportation, for free. The photo doesn’t have to be an official passport photo, a good clear selfie taken by your webcam or phone will be fine.

In order to protect the integrity of WWMG2024 and for the safety of all the participants, WWMG2024 doesn’t invite or allow the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials in WWMG2024 competition.

In case of an unexpected health issue during your WWMG2024 trip, there’s no need to worry. In Italy you can easily use the public health services if you have the European Health Insurance Card or an equivalent certificate. Lombardia also offers great options in private healthcare.
