For two action-packed days on February 15th and 16th, ISD Dubai Sports City came alive with energy, competition, and camaraderie as companies from across the UAE gathered for the Dubai Corporate Games 2025. From intense matches to spontaneous celebrations, the weekend was a celebration of teamwork, sportsmanship, and unforgettable moments.

A Gathering of Top Corporate Champions

Companies like Amazon, TikTok, Chalhoub Group, BAIN, VISA, GroupM, ITP Media Group, NOVVI Properties, Arada, and others competed fiercely across a wide range of sports, making their mark in over 21 sports categories.

From classics like cricket, football, and basketball to fast-growing sports like padel and table tennis, the event had something for everyone. The challenge extended beyond the courts and tracks, with competitions like backgammon, chess, foosball, and even obstacle courses testing participants’ skills and spirit.

Moments of Glory and Triumph

A highlight of the weekend, especially for ISD Dubai Sports City, was the 9km run, where one of our very own, Valerii Pimenov, secured 3rd place—a proud moment for the entire ISD team. Meanwhile, the Chalhoub Group was crowned the “Best Overall Performing Company” for an impressive seventh consecutive year—a testament to their consistency and dedication.

A Weekend of Sports and Celebration

Throughout both days, the energy was amplified by enthusiastic teams cheering for their colleagues, with drums and props creating an electrifying atmosphere. And as if the weekend needed an extra touch of magic, the skies opened with a light drizzle on Sunday evening, adding to the event’s vibrant vibe.

More Than Just Sports

The weekend was not only about competition, but it was also a festival of fun and entertainment. Attendees enjoyed delicious freebies from Prime, London Dairy, Fade Fit, FULFIL, and other brands, ensuring everyone stayed energized and refreshed. Between matches, teams captured memories with the popular ISD Instagram frame prop, creating snapshots that will be cherished long after the event.

Adding to the excitement, the talented Midnight Buzz band took the stage on both days, delivering live music that had the crowd dancing and singing along. The perfect soundtrack to an unforgettable weekend.

Celebrating Success: The Awards Ceremony

As the event ended, Sunday evening saw the much-anticipated awards ceremony, where teams and individual participants were recognized for their outstanding performances across different categories. Applause and cheers filled the air as trophies and medals were handed out, marking the culmination of months of preparation and hard work.
