Association des anciens fonctionnaires de l’Union Internationale des Télécommunications

Dear friends and colleagues, 
We are delighted share with you the invitation to the 2026 UN Inter-Agency Games (UN IAG).

The 51st edition of the UN Inter-Agency Games 2026 will take place on the island of Crete, a destination that effortlessly combines natural beauty, cultural depth, and a long-standing tradition of sporting elegance. The Games will be hosted in and around the historic city of Heraklion, with key activities and accommodation centred in the coastal region of Hersonissos. 

The event will be held under the auspices of the Regional Governor of Crete, Stavros Arnaoutakis, whose patronage reflects both the strong local institutional support for the Games, and the importance Crete places on international sport, cultural exchange, and community engagement. 

Crete itself is an island of remarkable diversity. Mountain ranges meet crystal-clear seas, ancient stadiums and palaestras echo alongside modern sporting venues, and a deep-rooted athletic tradition traces back to the earliest Olympic ideals. This sense of history, combined with contemporary elegance and warmth, makes Crete a fitting host for the Inter-Agency Games—a place where competition, camaraderie, and cultural richness come together naturally. 

Deadline for registration : Friday, 10 April 2026.
