Orkney will welcome over 2,000 athletes from 24 islands when it hosts the International Island Games for the first time in July 2025. Events will run from 12 to 18 July across venues in and around Kirkwall, with competitions in football, archery, sailing, swimming and more. A major upgrade of local sports facilities is already underway, and around 900 volunteers have signed up to support the games. The opening ceremony will take place at Bignold Park and is expected to draw a large crowd. Organisers hope the games will bring lasting benefits to sport and tourism in Orkney.
