Riyadh to Host Arab Sports for All Festival 2026

Riyadh will host the 10th Arab Festival of Sports for All in early September 2026, bringing together delegations from seven Arab countries for five days of sports, cultural, and recreational activities. The festival runs from 3 to 7 September 2026 in Riyadh city.

Organized by the Saudi Sports for All Federation and the Arab Sports for All Union, the event welcomes participants from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Egypt, Palestine, Morocco, and Syria. It operates under the slogan “Movement Unites Us” (الحركة تجمعنا), reflecting its focus on participation across all age groups and backgrounds.

The program combines competitive and interactive events with community-style activities. Listed sports include table tennis, archery, air hockey, boxing challenge formats, interactive basketball, mini-football, floor curling, and interactive cycling, alongside traditional heritage games.

Why it matters

The festival aims to encourage community sports participation and strengthen regional cooperation, offering residents and families a chance to take part in accessible, open activities. For Riyadh's diverse community of residents and expats, it provides a shared space to be active and connect across cultures.

Current information for the 2026 edition does not specify any ticket prices or fees for public entry, participation, or registration. Full details on the venue and schedule are expected closer to the festival dates.
