the vivil games
The VIVIL games are a national sports tournament
for people with mental disabilities. The tournament
is held at Nadderud Stadium in Bærum in late
May /early June every year.
The events are swimming, athletics, football,
handball and Boccia. The events and competition
rules are adapted for the participants. Everyone
should be able to participate, regardless of their

a diploma. Trophies are also awarded for the team
sports. Social activities are an important part of the
games, and a major banquet is held for participants
and leaders during the course of the tournament.

for several years. In 2012 the tournament was
held over the weekend of 1-3 June, again with the
support of Telenor.
