Held every four years, this edition is scheduled to take place in Algeria, from July 5th to 15th, 2023, showcasing the athletic prowess of participating nations.

The inaugural Arab Sports Games was held in Alexandria, Egypt, back in 1953. Since then, it has grown to become a prominent sporting event in the Arab world.

Egyptian athletes have consistently displayed their dominance throughout the history of the Arab Sports Games. To date, Egypt boasts an impressive record of 621 gold medals, 426 silver medals, and 375 bronze medals.

The 2023 Arab Sports Games will be hosted across five cities in Algeria, namely Algiers, Oran, Constantine, Annaba, and Tipaza.

The prestigious Stade du 5 Juillet in Algiers, with a seating capacity of 64,200, has been chosen as the venue for both the grand opening and closing ceremonies. This iconic stadium will witness breathtaking displays of talent, unity, and cultural celebrations throughout the event.
