Virtus: World Intellectual Impairment Sport (Virtus, previously known as INAS) was established in 1986 by professionals in the Netherlands who were involved in sport and wanted to promote the participation of athletes with intellectual disability. The 1st World Games for Athletes with an Intellectual Disability were held in Harnosand, Sweden in 1989. INAS became a member of the ICC – the International Coordinating Committee – which in 1992 became the International Paralympic Committee.

INAS’ original membership was just 14 nations which have steadily grown to more than 80 nations today. Today’s sport programme includes some 15 annual events, more than 4,500 athletes are registered to compete at an international level, whilst more than 300,000 people with an intellectual disability worldwide have the opportunity to enjoy sport through the work of our member organisations.

On 19th October 2019, at the closing ceremony of the 5th Global Games, INAS announced a substantial rebranding and will henceforth be known as Virtus: World Intellectual Impairment Sport.
