Unified Sports Club
Team sports bring people together. Special Olympics Unified Sports® teams do that, too and much more.
Over 1.2 million people worldwide participate in Unified Sports, breaking down stereotypes about people with intellectual disabilities in a really fun way. ESPN has served as the Global Presenting Sponsor of Special Olympics Unified Sports since 2013, supporting the growth and expansion of this program that empowers individuals with and without intellectual disabilities to engage through the power of sports.
