The 2019 Military World Games, officially known as the 7th CISM Military World Games and commonly known as Wuhan 2019, was held from 18-27 October 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei, China.[1][2]

The 7th Military World Games was the first international military multi-sport event to be held in China and also it was the largest military sports event ever to be held in China, with nearly 10,000 athletes from over 100 countries competing in 27 sports.[3][4] The multi-sport event included 25 official and 2 demonstrative sports. Six sport disciplines such as badminton, tennis, table tennis, women's boxing and men's gymnastics made their debuts in the event.[5] This was also the second biggest international sport event to be held in the year 2019 in China after hosting the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup. The Games were organised by the Military Sports Commission of China, Ministry of National Defense of the People's Republic of China and the military commands (Army) in accordance with CISM regulations and the rules of the International Sports Federations.[6] For the first time in the history of the Military World Games, an Olympic village was set up for the athletes prior to the commencement of the Games.[7] The village was officially opened for the athletes following the flag-raising ceremony.[8]

Host nation China sent a delegation consisting of 553 participants for the games, which marked the record number of participants to represent a nation at a single Military World Games.[9] Around 230,000 volunteers were recruited for the event to be staged in China.[10]
