It's not just Glasgow that has Games spectacular to look forward to

Scotland has hosted some of the world’s largest multi-sport events with athletes from across the globe coming to compete. In less than two years the spotlight will once again shine on Scotland as Glasgow plays host to the Commonwealth Games 2026. But before that, next July 12 – 18 Scotland will be the focus of another international multi-sporting event.

Nearly 2,000 athletes and officials from 24 islands, from as far afield as Bermuda and the Falkland Islands, will descend on Orkney for the 40th International Island Games. The Orkney 2025 International Island Games will be the biggest event that the islands have ever hosted.

The International Island Games brings an incredibly unique opportunity for Orkney and will see the islands showcase our exceptional facilities, vibrant atmosphere and welcoming community on a world-wide stage.........
