The 14th National Games of China (中华人民共和国第十四届运动会), branded as Shaanxi 2021 (陕西2021), was a multi-sports event held throughout Shaanxi from 15 to 27 September 2021 (though some events took place before the Games started).[2] It was projected that the Games would attract around 20,000 athletes who would compete in 409 events in 35 sports.[3][4] This was the first event in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 14th National Games was one of the first major multi-sport events to allow spectators, which have to provide test certificates within 72 hours prior to entering any venues.[5]

Bidding process

In September 2015, the General Administration of Sport of China officially issued the notice of bid for the 14th National Games.[6] On 19 October, the Shaanxi Provincial People's Government formally submitted the bidding materials to the General Administration of Sports.[6] They were left uncontested and thus Shaanxi was confirmed to be the host on 4 January 2016.[7]
