Breaking Barriers, Building Bonds: Unified Games 2025 Delivers a Day of Celebration and Smiles

Dubai, UAE – 2 July 2025
Under the patronage of the Dubai Sports Council, the Midea Dubai Schools Games Unified Games 2025 delivered an unforgettable day of inclusive sport, camaraderie, and joy on 17th June 2025 at Danube Sports World, the event’s official venue partner. With expert guidance from the technical partner GEMS Wellington Academy – Silicon Oasis, the event celebrated ability, unity, and the true spirit of participation in school sports.

The Unified Games, running from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, brought together students of all abilities in a vibrant, fun-filled environment that prioritised teamwork, support, and shared achievement. The games have become a cornerstone of the Dubai Schools Games calendar, and this year’s edition surpassed expectations, building on the success of past seasons.

Sponsored by Midea, in collaboration with Almarai, Volkswagen by Al Nabooda, Skiply by RAKBANK, EMAHS, and Al Ain Water, the Unified Games offered a day where fun and community spirit took the lead. Activities were designed to promote inclusion, where students with and without determination competed side-by-side in friendly challenges and skill-based games.

The energy in the venue was electric, with laughter, cheers, and applause echoing throughout the day. Teachers, parents, volunteers, and students alike praised the smooth organisation and joyful atmosphere. Many noted how the event continues to grow in meaning and impact, creating lasting memories for everyone involved.

“This event wasn’t about winners or scores—it was about smiles, friendships, and creating a space where every child felt seen, celebrated, and supported,” said one of the event coordinators. “The Unified Games have consistently raised the bar each season, and this year’s edition was truly the most heartwarming yet.”

From obstacle courses and relay races to team games that emphasised collaboration over competition, every moment was a celebration of inclusion. Volunteers and sports leaders from across schools in Dubai ensured that the event ran seamlessly, allowing participants to shine in a safe, welcoming environment.

The Dubai Sports Council and partners reaffirmed their ongoing commitment to inclusive sporting initiatives, with the Unified Games standing as a testament to what school sports can achieve when everyone is given a chance to belong and thrive.

With each passing year, the Unified Games continue to redefine success, not through medals but through moments of laughter, shared effort, and the pure joy of playing together.
