Birmingham CrossPlex will host swimming and track events for the
World Games 2022.
"These are the best athletes in the world in
their respective sports, and this is going to be
a huge event going on for a full two weeks in
our city."
In addition to the sports events, the fan
experience will provide Birmingham with
14 days of events, delicious food and drinks
and a live concert series representing
many music genres and featuring a to-be-
announced lineup of A-list performers.
With that in mind, Porter highlighted the
crucial need for volunteers – at least 4,000 –
to ensure Birmingham provides the highest
level of service needed to host the World
Games.
"The saying is 'To whom much is given,
much will be required,' and we need folks
to volunteer to serve as ambassadors of
goodwill for the city, the state and the
company," Porter said. "This is such a huge
event, and we need everyone engaged and
ready to showcase our city."
Details are being developed for the role
of Alabama Power employee and retiree
volunteers. Information for those interested
in participating will be available through
APSO and Energizers. To sign up to receive
