Host country Colombia competed at the 2013 World Games held in Cali, Colombia.

The 9th edition of The World Games took place in Cali, Colombia from 25 July to 4 August 2013. There were 26 sports on the official programme. In addition, 5 invitational sports were included. A total of 3,103 athletes (2,730 on the official programme plus 373 in invitational sports) from 91 countries competed in 194 medal events (171/23) for the gold medals of The World Games.

What specially sets the 2013 World Games apart from previous Games was that spectator interest exceeded all expectations. The Local Organising Committee reported that a total of 520,000 tickets had been sold. Dance Sport experienced a world record number of spectators; on the two days of the competition the bullfighting arena, which served as the competition venue, was completely sold out with 18,000 spectators each day. Never before had so many fans come to a Dance Sport tournament. The then IWGA President Ron Froehlich described TWG 2013 as "The People’s Games”. The city of Cali in the province of Valle del Cauca, south-west of Bogotá, has about 2.5 million inhabitants.
