You might have some questions about the IBSA World Games. Here are some of the most common questions and some helpful answers.
How can I watch IBSA World Games 2023?
Many of the sports taking place on campus are free to attend. Simply come along. Three of the paralympic qualifying games (Blind Football, Judo and Goalball) will require tickets to be purchased in advance. More info coming soon.
More infomation on the IBSA website about where to watch and follow the games.
Can I park on campus during the Games?
Spectators will be directed towards the North East multi-story car park.
More information on parking
There will be some accessible blue badge spaces on campus upon request which are closer to the venues. You will need access through the barriers on campus and a blue badge on display. Please contact carparking@contacts.bham.ac.uk with any queries.
I have Sport & Fitness membership. Can I still go to the gym during the Games?
Yes, the gym will still be open and accessible as normal, as will the swimming pool. The Munrow Arena and Slater Hall will have restricted access due to hosting Judo for the World Blind Games. If you want more information or would like to enquire about using alternative spaces, please contact the UoB Sport team.
Will food be available on campus?
Most of our catering outlets will be open during the summer.
