The Games are open to military personnel, both serving and retired, who have been injured while on duty.

Competition was due to take place in the Dutch city in 2020 before the pandemic struck.

More than 500 athletes from 20 nations are set to compete in a programme of 10 sports from tomorrow until April 22 - athletics, archery, cycling, wheelchair basketball, weightlifting, indoor rowing, wheelchair rugby, sitting volleyball, swimming and the Land Rover driving challenge.

The driving event will see the first medals awarded at the Games in a "test of skill and precision designed to test driving skills, navigational ability, observation and teamwork using Land Rover vehicles," which sponsor the event.

Athletes will have to complete a course consisting of obstacles in the city's Zuiderpark, with each team required to drive from the start and correctly negotiate each obstacle in the prescribed order before returning to the finish.

"Post-War, The Hague has undergone its own process of rebuilding and rehabilitation, a theme many of those competing can intimately relate to," said Sir Keith Mills, chairman of the Invictus Games Foundation.

"A city transformed, The Hague inspired a nation.

"So too, we believe the next Invictus Games will act as an inspiration to competitors and those attending or watching at home."

As well as the sporting events, several activities are due to take place for fans in four locations in the Zuiderpark.

These include a ski simulator, esports, "ultimate archery game" and the hug wall.

Invictus Games founder, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle are in the host city already, and have met the Ukrainian delegation.

The last edition of the Games took place in Sydney, Australia in 2018 while Düsseldorf in Germany is scheduled to host the 2023 event.
