The 2022 Summer Invictus Games, officially called the XXIX Summer Invictus Games (Gaullican: Les XXIXe Jeux invictus d'été) and also known as Verlois 2022 is the 29th edition of the Summer Invictus Games, an international sports competition, held in Verlois, Gaullica, between July 11 and August 1, 2022.

Verlois was chosen as the host city for the games during the 2022-2030 Invictus Committee deliberations. It faced competition from fellow Euclean cities Rimso in Scovern, Morwall in Estmere, and Alikianos in Piraea. The Games are a centenary celebration for Verlois, which also hosted them in 1922. These are the third Summer Invictus Games hosted in Gaullica, the second Games hosted in Verlois, and the fourth Games hosted by Gaullica in total.

Opening ceremony

The opening ceremony took place at the Parc de la Terre d'Or in central Verlois beginning at 21:00 local time on 11 July. The ceremony opened with a performance of the Gaullican national anthem, the Chant des Gaullois, by the Verlois Symphony Orchestra as the Gaullican flag was raised. This was followed by musical performances by pop stars Violaine Rousseau and Georges Dior along with a light display and dance performance by Cirque du Clair de Lune. A segment highlighting the 1922 Games included a somber tribute to the sacrifice of prior generations and hopes for future peace.

The ceremony's second act consisted of the Parade of Nations, with Etruria taking its traditional first place as the originator of the modern Invictus Games. Other nations followed in alphabetical order with the host nation, Gaullica, concluding the parade. The Gaullicans were led by flagbearer Thècle Deslys, who had previously won Invictus gold in the long jump.

IIC President Prospero D'Agosta made brief remarks before the President of Gaullica, Monique Degar-Abdulrashid, formally declared the Games open. The Invictus flag was brought into the stadium and raised as the Invictus Hymn was played.

The Invictus Cauldron lighting concluded the ceremony. The last stage of the Invictus Torch relay repeated the route from the 1922 Verlois games; rather than highlight an individual athletes, organizers chose to feature the entire torch relay team to celebrate the inclusive spirit of the Games. Étienne Barre, a two-time gold medalist in the modern pentathlon, lit the cauldron. As a final gesture of peace before the ceremony concluded, a flock of white doves was released above the crowd.
