This year's Special Olympics World Games will take place in Berlin from 17 to 25 June 2023. Around 7,000 athletes with intellectual and multiple disabilities will compete in 26 sports. Liechtenstein will participate as one of the 190 delegations.

The special stamp "Joy of Sport" (face value: CHF 1.80) is intended to spread the message of the Special Olympics throughout the world. Designer Luigi Olivadoti depicts four sportsmen and sportswomen on the stamp using the Olympic rings and colours as a model. With its colourfulness and the cheerful figures doing gymnastics, the stamp underlines the joy felt by all those involved in the common sporting activity.

The non-profit foundation and recognised sports organisation Special Olympics Liechtenstein stands for an inclusive society, characterised by mutual respect and acceptance. Its goal is to create communal experiences, joy and recognition through sport. Around 140 athletes use the various sporting opportunities to keep fit, improve their performance and have fun together on a regular basis. Some of the athletes will take part in the international competition in Berlin.
