Riyadh is set to host the 8th TAFISA World Sport for All Games in 2028, in a major event organised by the Saudi Sports for All Federation that will bring together athletes, families, and visitors from around the world.
The Games are expected to welcome more than 1,000 participants from over 100 countries, alongside more than 70,000 visitors, making it one of the largest gatherings dedicated to community and recreational sport ever held in the Kingdom.
Planned as a week-long programme, the event will combine sport with culture, food, music, and education, offering a varied experience that reaches beyond competition to celebrate active living for people of all ages and abilities.
Why it matters
For residents and expats across Riyadh, the Games represent a chance to take part in or watch a global celebration of sport close to home. The focus on "sport for all" aligns with wider national efforts to encourage physical activity and healthier lifestyles in communities throughout the country.
