Riyadh to Host 10th Arab Sports for All Festival

Riyadh is set to host the 10th Arab Festival of Sports for All, organized by the Saudi Sports for All Federation, over five days from 4 September to 8 September 2026. The festival brings together seven Arab countries — Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Egypt, Palestine, Morocco, and Syria — under the slogan "Movement Unites Us."

The event focuses on community, cultural, and recreational sports activities designed to boost public participation and encourage the exchange of expertise among Arab delegations. Participating countries attend through their national sports for all and community sports federations.

Activities and Disciplines

The festival features an interactive, community-based format with a wide range of disciplines, including table tennis, archery, air hockey, boxing challenges, interactive basketball, mini-football, floor curling, and interactive cycling. It also showcases traditional and heritage games drawn from Arab cultures, offering visitors a chance to try activities in a family-friendly setting.

Beyond the five-day program, the festival is positioned as part of Saudi Arabia's wider strategy to raise public sports participation. It also serves as a preparatory milestone ahead of Riyadh's hosting of the 8th TAFISA World Sport for All Games in 2028.

At this stage, details such as specific venues within Riyadh, entry fees or ticket prices, individual registration steps, and daily schedules for each activity have not been published. The Saudi Sports for All Federation remains the main organizer and official point for information and coordination. Saudi Living will share further details as they become available.
