“There is an ever-growing interest among schools and students in participating in Dubai Schools Games, and the events are becoming increasingly competitive. We have opened registrations for four events so far this season, and we are already witnessing registrations from students representing more than 60 different schools.

We are deeply grateful for the support of our sponsors, venue hosts, technical partners, and volunteers. They all share an understanding of the vital role sports play in developing physically and mentally healthy children. Without their valuable contributions, we would not be able to provide these opportunities on behalf of the Dubai Sports Council.”
