Located in the heart of the Lazio region of Italy, Latina is a relatively modern city and was founded during the fascist regime of Italy in 1932. Before the city was established, this area of Lazio was largely uninhabited and was predominantly swam land until it was drained. Inhabitants of the city were originally brought from other regions of Italy including Veneto and Friuli, and various monuments, parks and public buildings were erected. After WW2, the city was renamed to Latina and saw an influx of residents coming from Lazio and the surrounding region.

The easiest way to reach the Italy World Games is to fly into/from Roma, the Italian capital. Roma has two main airports, Fiumicino and Ciampino with the former catering more to legacy carriers and the latter a low-cost airport. They are both around 40 minutes away from Latina, where the tournament will be played, with frequent connections available both by train and bus.
