The Race to Host The Games of the Future 2027 Heats Up!

We proudly congratulate colleagues from Brazil, Serbia, South Africa, and Uzbekistan on their nations being shortlisted as potential hosts of The Games of the Future 2027. Their dedication and vision for phygital sports are truly inspiring, and we look forward to the announcement of the winning nation in early summer.

With The Games of the Future confirmed in the UAE for 2025 and Kazakhstan for 2026, the 2027 edition represents another milestone in the growth of phygital sports worldwide.

Dan Merkley, Chairperson of the World Phygital Community (WPC), expressed his excitement about the shortlisted nations:

“Phygital sports are transforming the way we compete and connect, and the energy around The Games of the Future is truly inspiring. We extend our congratulations to Brazil, Serbia, South Africa, and Uzbekistan for making it to this stage. Each of these nations can bring something special to the table, and we look forward to seeing how they could help shape the future of phygital sports by hosting GOTF 2027. This is an exciting time for our community, and we can’t wait to find out the 2027 host of this global event.”
