The 2024 Winter Invictus Games, officially the XXIV Winter Invictus Games (Mescon: XXIV. Inviktiske vinterlege, Vestelian: XXIV. Inviktiske vinterleker, Frellandic: XXIV.

Rimso–Nordfolden was chosen as the host location at the meeting of the International Invictus Committee (IIC) in Alikianos, Piraea in 2019. It was the second time Scovern hosted the Winter Invictus Games, after Helganes 1984. A total of 118 official events were held across nine venues, with the opening and closing ceremonies held at the Rentenbank Arena in Rimso.

Bids

Bidding for the 2024 games began in 2015. Rimso, Invertwinc, New Morwall and Tolbury were selected as candidates, while Visnagrad and Rahu did not make it past the planning stage.

Selection of candidate cities

The quality of bids was assessed in 2017 at the 119th IIC conference in Rongzhuo, Shangea. Cities were given a score out of ten in various categories by IIC representatives.
