Croatian World Games

The Croatian World Games (Croatian: Hrvatske svjetske igre, Spanish: Juegos Croatas Mundiales, Juegos Mundiales Croatas) are an Olympics-style amateur multi-sport competition pitting autochthonous Croat communities in Croatia and neighbouring nations against each other and Croatian diaspora communities, representing countries they live in. The event is organized by the Croatian Olympic Committee and the Croatian World Congress. It is also known under the unofficial name Crolympics (Croatian: Crolimpijada), with the motto "Olympic games with Croatian sign".

The goal of the Games is connecting young Croats from all over the world through sports and cultural gatherings, and to encourage them to cultivate their Croatian identity.
