Lithuania's government has approved the permanent composition of the council for the World Lithuanian Sports Games. The body will have 31 members and will be led by the deputy minister for education, science and sport.

The mayor of the municipality hosting the games will serve as the council's deputy chair. Representatives of major state institutions and Lithuanian organizations abroad will also join the council.

Until now, authorities formed a temporary working group for each edition of the games. The permanent council is intended to make coordination easier and ensure continuous representation for the key institutions and organizations involved.

The changes follow amendments to Lithuania's Sports Law that gave the games official status.
