First World Games Event To Begin
The first event in this year's World Police and Fire Games is to take place today (Thursday).
The opening ceremony of the games is not due to be held until next Thursday (1 August), but the decision was made to start the international ice hockey competition early due to the high number of entries received.
A total of 26 teams will take part in the ice hockey tournament, with local teams such as the Northern Ireland Tridents having entered, as well as teams from the US.
Competitors from more than 67 countries have started arriving in the province to take part in the event.
The ice hockey matches are being played at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast and are open to the public with free admission.
Most of the events during this year's games are open to the public. The only ones that aren't, are archery and shooting.
