Published: Monday, October 6, 2025, 19:28 [GST] The UAE Ministry of Sports has launched the UAE Obstacle
Sports Federation, tasked with organising and promoting obstacle sports in the country. This initiative aims to elevate the

sport's profile by showcasing its competitive aspects, which blend physical fitness, endurance, and mental skills. The

federation's creation is a step towards gaining international recognition for these sports.

Obstacle sports are gaining traction globally, with activities like OCR, Adventure, Ninja, Callisthenics, and Obstacle Racing
being practised in over 77 countries. Within Asia alone, 30 nations participate in these sports under four federations linked

to the International Obstacle Sports Federation based in Switzerland.
