5/26/25, 3:44 PM Second edition of UAE School Games concludes on successfu...
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.
