What is
phygital sport?

Phygital sport combines traditional sports with digital technology to create a hybrid experience.

It blends the physical aspects of sports (such as real-world activity, equipment, and venues) with virtual or digital elements (such as augmented reality, virtual reality, and gamification).

Phygital sports particularly appeal to younger audiences by combining the fun, interactive aspects of digital gaming with the physical and social benefits of legacy sports.

Phygital sports will continue to become ever more popular in a world where technology is increasingly integrated into all aspects of life.

Games of the Future

The Games of the Future is an annual international multi-sport tournament that blends traditional physical sports with digital and virtual elements to create a unique phygital competition.

It’s the biggest tournament of its kind. The inaugural Games of the Future saw over 2000 participants from more than 100 countries gather to compete in a range of phygital disciplines – with over 300,000 spectators on the ground and billions more watching worldwide. GOTF 2025, to be held in the UAE later this year, is expected to be even more spectacular.

Discover the Games of the Future

WPC membership is open to any organization interested in establishing and growing phygital sport within their country, and committed to holding ranking tournaments within that country. These include associations, institutions, partnerships, societies, clubs, universities, colleges, schools, and governmental or regulatory bodies.*

Becoming a member is easy. Simply fill out and submit the application forms, along with a completed questionnaire and any supporting documents. The WPC’s membership committee will then review your application and notify you, within three months, if you have been successful.

*Only legal entities, not individuals, can become members.

The WPC Ranking System

The WPC’s tournaments (GOTF Origins and GOTF Rivals) are how players and clubs qualify for the Games of the Future.

Tournaments are graded on a variety of criteria (size, number of competitors, disciplines etc.) and winners and participants receive ranking points according to how well they perform in each tournament.

Teams and players with the highest number of ranking points become eligible to enter the GOTF qualifying rounds (Phygital Contenders) before progressing to the Games of the Future.

The system is designed to ensure fairness and an equal opportunity to take part in this spectacular international sporting and cultural event.
