Games of the Future 2025 to Bring Phygital Sports to Abu Dhabi

Games of the Future 2025 is set to take place at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi from December 18th to 23rd, bringing together what organisers describe as “phygital” competition — formats that combine physical performance with digital gameplay across the same discipline. The event is billed to include 11 disciplines and participation from international clubs and athletes, with teams competing through progression pathways for places in the finals. Organisers have announced a pooled prize of USD 5 million across the tournament. Alongside the sporting events, Games of the Future 2025 will also host a Phygital Sports Summit on December 17th, bringing together athletes, technology specialists, policymakers, and industry figures to discuss the future of hybrid sport, digital integration, and athlete development. Attendance and ticketing information is listed on the gotfabudhabi website, while live coverage is set to run via tv.gofuture.games, the event’s streaming platform with free livestreams available in English and Arabic.
