GameDay is proud to announce a new partnership with Virtus, the international federation for athletes with an intellectual impairment that governs, advocates, organises, and promotes elite sport for athletes with an intellectual impairment. Virtus is one of the founding members of the International Paralympic Committee.

Recognized as the International Organization of Sport for people with a Disability (IOSD) by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), Virtus plays a central role in overseeing athlete eligibility, elite competitions, and sport development across multiple disciplines worldwide. Looking ahead to 2030, Virtus is committed to strengthening inclusion in sport and expanding elite pathways to ensure more athletes with an intellectual impairment can compete on the world stage.

Working in partnership with GameDay, Virtus will implement a fully integrated global membership platform that unites its international members, disciplines, and regions into one centralised system. This modernised structure will deliver a single source of truth for administrators, enabling more efficient competition management and improving the overall experience for athletes, coaches, and stakeholders.

John Pearce, Sport and Competition Manager at Virtus, said, “This partnership marks an important milestone for Virtus. Consolidating our global membership and competition management into a single platform will significantly improve the way we support athletes and manage our international sports. GameDay provides the scalable and innovative technology we need as we continue to grow and enhance opportunities for athletes with an intellectual impairment around the world.”

Ross Heaviside, EMEA Account Manager at GameDay, said, “We are delighted to support Virtus in delivering a unified and modern membership ecosystem for their global community. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to improving access, efficiency, and pathways within international sport. We look forward to working closely with Virtus as they advance their strategic vision through to 2030 and beyond.”

This collaboration represents a significant step forward for both organisations, combining Virtus’ global leadership in inclusive sport with GameDay’s proven expertise in membership and competition technology. Together, the partnership will help strengthen pathways, enhance operational capability, and support the continued growth of elite sport for athletes with an intellectual impairment worldwide.
