Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, the Duke of Sussex shared a video to announce the next Invictus Games will take place in Dusseldorf, Germany in 2022.

“Here we come Düsseldorf! The new home for the 2022 and sixth Invictus Games,” Harry captioned the post, which showed a video montage of past games.

“Düsseldorf will welcome over 500 competitors as they showcase their talents, determination and camaraderie to the world!” he added.

The Invictus Games is an international “adaptive multi-sport event”, which was created by Harry for wounded, injured or sick (WIS) armed services personnel and veterans.

Harry set up the event, so those Armed Forces who take part can show the world what they’re capable of in a series of adaptive sports, ranging from wheelchair basketball to indoor rowing.

“Participating in the Games plays a significant part in the recovery journey of WIS Servicemen and women. It doesn’t just heal the individual, it heals the whole family,” the post read.

Harry, who appeared in the Instagram video, was quoted in the caption as saying: “I hope everyone in Germany is ready for what will be an incredible week of sport!
