Dubai Games 2025 initiated its official start today at Dubai Festival City to begin the city’s leading team sports championship. The tournament started with intense Battle of the Government competition in which government employees demonstrated superior team abilities and athletic skills through their participation under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai.

The sixth edition of the tournament takes place from February 10 through February 23 under the partnership of DP World and with DAMAC and Emarat as major sponsors through their collaboration with the Dubai Sports Council.

Government Teams Face Off in Opening Battles

The championship title will be determined through the February 23rd match between these four competing teams.
