The Danish government has earmarked DKK 130 million to support a bid to host the 2029 Invictus Games, with Aalborg positioned as the potential host city.
The allocation marks a concrete step in the country's effort to secure the international sporting event for wounded, injured, and sick armed services personnel.
The funding is directed toward the ministry responsible for the bid, covering initial costs associated with the application process and preliminary preparations.
The Invictus Games, founded by Prince Harry, have become a significant diplomatic and sporting platform, attracting global attention and participation from dozens of nations.
Aalborg's selection as the prospective host city leverages the northern Danish city's existing infrastructure and experience in hosting large-scale events.
The bid aligns with broader government efforts to enhance Denmark's international profile through sports diplomacy and support for military veterans.
