The first ever World Youth Games will be staged in Singapore in 2010 which will involve young Irish athlete involvement.
Some 3,594 athletes will compete in Singapore in 26 sports comprising 201 events. The number of sports in the programme is identical to the London 2012 programme. Each event has its own age group* competing, either 15-16 (27 events), 16-17 (111 events) or 17-18 (63 events).
Each NOC is studying the entry criteria at present.
