The championship will culminate in May with students, who successfully advanced from the
second stage, competing for finals at the state level. Winners of the first three places will be
awarded gold, silver, and bronze medals.

The championship is the outcome of robust cooperation between the Ministry of Sports, the

National Olympic Committee, the Ministry of Education, the UAE Sports Federation for the
Institutions of School and University Education, the sports councils in the country, and all sports
federations specialised in sports within the championship. In addition, educational bodies such as
the Knowledge and Human Development Authority, the Department of Education and Knowledge,
and the Sharjah Private Education Authority are key partners in this championship.

The first edition of the School Games witnessed great success, with the finals held at the Dubai
Exhibition Centre in Expo City Dubai last May under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh

Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Second Deputy Ruler of Dubai and President of
the UAE National Olympic Committee, and in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor bin
Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Sports Council, alongside a number
of officials in the education and sports sectors. During the previous edition, His Excellency Dr.
Ahmad Belhoul Al Falasi, Minister of Sports, honoured the students who won the first three places
in 10 sports, bringing the total number of students who qualified for the finals to 772 out of 1840.
