Randy Owen Named Honorary Co-Chair of the World Games 2022

Randy Owen, lead singer of the legendary band Alabama, has been named as one of the co-chairs of the World Games that are coming to his home state in 2022.

Randy says, “I’m so honored to join my fellow outstanding Alabamians, Charles Barkley, Dr. Henry Panion, and those yet to be announced, in helping bring this event to Alabama.”

In all the support the state has shown him throughout his career, Randy thinks that Alabama is a great choice for the 2022 World Games, “The people in our state have made a tremendous impact on my life and career, and I’m happy to show the world what Alabama is all about. Our people are as diverse as the landscape in our beautiful state. It is my hope that we are able to bring that uniqueness to the forefront and let the light of Alabama shine out into the world.”

Randy adds, “My home and heart will always be in Alabama, and now it is the home of The World Games 2022!”
