  • Having a ball: The Abu Dhabi Corporate Games guarantees fun in the sun.

    Following the success of previous editions, the Abu Dhabi Corporate Games returns next month, giving participants another chance to go head-to-head in a fun and exciting sports event.

    More than 1,000 people will flock to the capital’s Zayed Sports City on December 11 and 12, and you can still join them with registration closing on November 25.

    With the emphasis of promoting a healthy lifestyle and strengthening relationships, the Games are open to people of all abilities and corporate, education and social teams.

    Using everyday skills they use at work, teams will battle for glory with prizes available in the top-three of each category. Teams can choose from 25 sports  including football, beach volleyball, cricket, golf, basketball, dragon boat racing, karting and shooting.

    Now in its fourth edition, the event has gone from strength to strength, attracting thousands every year, and next month’s competition looks set to be no different.

    “With 27 years of history, Corporate Games has welcomed more than one million participants worldwide in cities such as Melbourne, Cape Town, Istanbul, Annecy-Le-Vieux in France, and the World Corporate Games taking place in Mexico next November,” said Benoit Montin, managing director of Corporate Games.

    Beach volleyball is just one of 25 sports that can be enjoyed during the Abu Dhabi Corporate Games.

    “The UAE office is very excited to be a part of this Worldwide Corporate Games Community through hosting the fourth edition of the Abu Dhabi Corporate Games in this vibrant city this coming December.

    “We encourage every organisation across the country to participate, compete and network in this one of a kind, fun event.”

    Besides the sports activities, there will be a vibrant sponsors’ village and an inclusive Friday evening networking BBQ, allowing companies and their employees to unwind and socialise after taking part in the athletes parade and opening ceremony.

    And even if you’re competing why not show your support on the day. The event is open to the public with the participants being encouraged to bring their families and friends, in what promises to be a community themed event.
