The Invictus Games are being held in Düsseldorf from 9 to 16 September. The aim of the Games is to ensure soldiers who are wounded, injured and ill whether in body or mind enjoy greater recognition and acknowledgement in society and more support on their path to rehabilitation. Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz welcomes the more than 500 participants to Germany and pays tribute to their courage, as well as to their mental and physical contribution to society.
