2025 Islamic Solidarity Games
The 2025 Islamic Solidarity Games, officially the 6th Islamic Solidarity Games and also known as Riyadh 2025, was a inter-continental multi-sport event organised by the Islamic Solidarity Sports Association, which holds from 7 to 21 November 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The event returns to its regular four-year cycle, following the 2021 Islamic Solidarity Games in Konya, Turkey, which were postponed to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Host selection
On 15 April 2021, Cameroon's bid was selected to host the Games, which were initially set to become the first edition held on the African continent. However, due to concerns over the country's infrastructure and readiness, the Islamic Solidarity Sports Association later withdrew the hosting rights and awarded the event to Saudi Arabia, with Riyadh confirmed as the new host city.Venues
