The finals showcased intense competition among students aged 9 to 17, representing 875
schools from various emirates across the UAE. Participants competed in 12 sports
disciplines, including athletics, swimming, fencing, badminton, judo, taekwondo, archery,
football, jiu-jitsu, shooting, chess, and table tennis.

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.
