Countdown to the Games of Future 2025

The excitement is building as Phygital International announces the Games of Future 2025, a groundbreaking event scheduled to commence on November 21 in the United Arab Emirates. This thrilling tournament is poised to become a focal point in the global sports calendar, drawing nations from around the world to compete for the championship title.

The Games of Future represent an innovative fusion of physical sports and digital gaming, introducing four official disciplines: Phygital Football, Phygital Basketball, Phygital Shooter, and Phygital Dancing. More exciting disciplines will be revealed as the date approaches, ensuring a diverse and captivating experience for both participants and spectators.

Participants in these games will engage in two rounds of competition. The first will test their physical athleticism, while the second showcases their skills in digital gaming. This new concept not only challenges traditional athletic competitions but also embraces the advancements in technology, redefining how we view sports.

The path toward the Games of Future has already begun, with members of the World Phygital Community (WPC) organizing preliminary tournaments known as GOTF Minors. Athletes from various regions within their countries have been competing to secure a spot in the GOTF Majors. The winners of these Majors will then have the opportunity to advance to the exclusive GOTF 2025 qualifiers. Only the top-performing clubs will earn a coveted place in the grand tournament.

This is more than just competition—it's a convergence of global talent and innovation, where the finest athletes will unite on an unprecedented stage. Through the blend of physical and digital sports, we're redefining the possibilities of athletics and unveiling a transformative chapter in the sports world. We can't wait to see how these future champions thrive and inspire."

Choosing the UAE as the event host further solidifies the country’s standing as a leader in cutting-edge sports and esports events.
