Dubai to host the world’s largest sports summit this December

It’s official! Dubai will welcome some of the biggest names in sports! His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai, announced on X (formerly Twitter) that the World Sports Summit is coming to Dubai on December 29-30, 2025. Sheikh Hamdan, who is known for his love of sports and fitness, referred to the summit as the largest assembly of sports stars in the world, which will place Dubai at the centre of shaping the future of sports all over the globe.

What to Expect at the World Sports Summit

The summit, being held by the Dubai Sports Council, promises to attract top athletes, famed coaches, industry experts, global investors and policy makers. The purpose of the summit is going to be much more than just a celebration of fitness in sports; it also wants to pursue how sports can foster global unity, encourage youth, and become the most influential economic driver. The summit will offer keynote sessions, interactive discussions, workshops led by industry experts, and demonstrations of new sports technology.

Why Dubai is the Perfect Agnostic Host

Dubai has already proved it believes in health and wellness. Every year, Dubai has the Dubai Fitness Challenge, where the communities participate in exercising for 30 minutes a day over 30 days. Sheikh Hamdan participates in outdoor sports (he likes trekking, freediving, and spearfishing) and helps stimulate and consider what more can be done to get more of the population to take fitness seriously. Sheikh Hamdan’s devotion to fitness and sports brings alive a major global event designed to create an international spotlight on Dubai’s collaboration in a national sports culture, technology in fitness and health, and wellness for everyone.
