Marrying perfectly the physical and digital sporting worlds, the Games of the Future is a groundbreaking concept that redefines conventions by incorporating advanced technologies into competitive disciplines.

After a bidding process run by Phygital International, the annual event is awarded to a host country.

Over 260 teams and over 2000 athletes from different countries participated in the tournament in 21 disciplines (16 in the main program and 5 in the extended program) based on a combination of physical activity, modern technology and digital environments, and players met in five areas ranging from sports to technology.

Several teams have rejected the invitation to participate in the Games due to concerns of personal data being misused.
