The Open Masters Games Abu Dhabi 2026 opened with a sold-out ceremony at Zayed Sports City, launching West Asia’s largest mass-participation multi-sport event.
The games target athletes aged 30 and above across dozens of disciplines, emphasizing inclusive competition rather than elite-only formats.
Organizers said registration demand exceeded initial capacity for several sports, reflecting growing interest in masters-level events in the Gulf region.
The opening program featured delegations from multiple countries preparing for a week of track, court and field competition.
