Invictus Team Romania 2017 project is a unique opportunity to show what true combat spirit, team cohesion and human solidarity mean as values defining the veterans of the theaters of operations.
The initiative is intended to support physical and psychological recovery through sport and to increase the awareness of the Romanian people of the problems injured soldiers and their families face.
All injured soldiers are encouraged to participate in the project, irrespective of the diability, and also their families that can be by their side during training, as well as competitions.

As a project of national representation, Invictus Team Romania 2017 intends to implicate and to earn the support of the citizens, GOs or NGOs or other institutions willing to contribute, voluntarily, to the success of the initiative.
The special competition equipment, adapted as required by the medical condition of each soldier, will be aquired gradually, with funds provided by CSA Steaua and the partners of the project.
