5/27/25, 8:54 AM Second edition of UAE School Games concludes, honouring 1,365 male and female student winners across 12 sports categories
The competition concluded with a celebratory awards ceremony, honoring the top three performers in each
sport. A total of 1,365 students received gold, silver, and bronze medals in recognition of their outstanding
achievements.

The UAE School Games welcomes participation from both public and private schools across the country. It is
held in three stages. The first stage occurs within schools, where students engage in training and compete in
various sports. The second stage takes place at the emirate level, where schools compete locally within their

respective emirates. The final stage is when top-performing students from each emirate come together to
compete for medals, ultimately determining the championship winners.

Medal winners from the School Games Championship in selected sports are then invited to take part in
athlete assessment and development programs organized by the Emirates Committee for Elite and High-
Level Sports. These evaluations aim to assess the athlete's speed, strength, endurance, potential, and

physical characteristics such as height and weight. Based on the results, athletes receive customized training
and educational programs to support their development. The Committee, in collaboration with the relevant
national sports federations, continually monitors each athlete's progress with the goal of preparing them to
represent the UAE in international and Olympic competitions.

The primary goal of the School Games is to discover and nurture sporting talent within UAE schools, creating
skilled athletes through training and development programs led by the Ministry of Sports. This initiative aims
to empower young athletes to strengthen national teams and play a key role in advancing the National Sports

Strategy 2031 objectives.
