The Invictus Games is an international multi-sport event which was created by Prince Harry.


Sixty days later, five hundred wounded veterans from 18 nations will go head-to-head at the games, which run between October 20 and 27 in Sydney, Australia.

They will compete in events including archery, athletics, indoor rowing, power lifting, road cycling, sailing, sitting volleyball, swimming, wheelchair basketball, wheelchair rugby and a driving challenge.

As the wounded warriors from Afghanistan are also participating in the Invictus Games, SBS Pashto has conducted an interview with one of the volunteers who wants to assist and care for the wounded Afghan players while they are in Sydney.

Please, listen to the interview here.
