Four Nations in the Race to Host The Games of the Future 2027

We are thrilled to announce Brazil, Serbia, South Africa, and Uzbekistan have been shortlisted as potential hosts for The Games of the Future in 2027. We have seen unprecedented global interest in hosting the 2027 edition, with bids from across the world, reflecting the growing recognition of phygital sports as the future of competitive entertainment.

With the UAE set to host GOTF 2025 and Kazakhstan in 2026, selecting the 2027 host is another key step in expanding phygital sports worldwide. Each potential host has demonstrated a strong vision, infrastructure, and commitment to the values that define The Games of the Future.

Our CEO, Nis Hatt, said: “We received bids from right around the world which highlights the growing awareness and passion for phygital sports globally. We would like to thank all the nations who bid to host The Games of the Future 2027 and are delighted at the strength of the submitted bids from these four incredible potential hosts.”
