From 22 to 31 October 2025, the capital of Bahrain, Manama, will become the center of Asia's young sports movement. The 3rd Asian Youth Games, a large-scale event for athletes aged 14 to 18, will be held here.
The preparations for the Games started in the end of 2024, when the Olympic Council of Asia and the Bahrain Olympic Committee signed a memorandum. Since then, Manama has been actively organizing competitions that continue the traditions established by the first edition of the Games in Singapore in 2009.
The program of the Asian Youth Games in Bahrain will be the most impressive in history, featuring 25 sports. In addition to traditional Olympic disciplines, spectators will enjoy eSports, mixed martial arts (MMA), kabaddi, jiu-jitsu, teqball and triathlon. The competitions will be conducted at the country's leading sports venues including Isa Sports City and Exhibition World Bahrain along with eight additional sub-zones.
The Children of Asia International Committee is following the upcoming competitions with great interest and pride. For us, these competitions are a logical continuation of the journey that began with the Children of Asia Games. We are delighted to announce that our Alumni - the athletes who discovered the world of big sports during the Children of Asia Games, will be a part of the national teams to compete in Manama.
We will be rooting for these talented guys with all our hearts! We believe in their strength, character, and will to win, and we wish them to show all the best that they have learned over the years.
