The UAE University Games is one of the outcomes of the “Future of Sports Retreat” organized by the
Ministry of Sports last October. It’s a pioneering initiative in the UAE, bringing together institutions of higher

education from various parts of the country for a long-term sports competition. The project is designed to
support athlete identification and cultivation, helping to develop the success of the UAE on a global sporting
stage and as a global sports leader. At the same time, it sets UAE universities apart in the region by ensuring

high-level collegiate sports while further engaging students, alumni, and community members with new
experiences and common social interests.

In the debut season, 105 teams from 28 universities across the UAE have registered a team for one or more
of the tournaments offered, including eight schools that are fielding teams in all six tournaments.

Commencing with regional competition at hosted venues, top teams will move into a national playoff that
culminates with a national championship in February and an award ceremony to celebrate the winners.

The opening ceremony will take place at Zayed Sports City on 5 November, with doors opening at 5:00 PM
and the ceremony starting at 7:30 PM. Registration for a free ticket can be made at uaeunigames.com to
anyone who has an email address from the affiliated institutions: Abu Dhabi University, Ajman University, Al

Ain University, American University in Dubai, American University in the UAE, American University of Sharjah,
