Pink Ladies Games Dubai 2026: 571 players, 24,155 supporters, one very pink morning
Pink Ladies Games Dubai 2026 took place on Saturday 31 October 2026 at The Sevens Stadium in Dubai. 571 players in 113 teams, from 30 companies and 11 communities, played 12 battles in one morning. 24,155 supporters cheered them on from their phones and the sidelines. It was our fifth UAE edition and our first since 2019, and it sold out five days before the start.
The day in numbers
- 571 players in 113 teams: 97 ladies teams and 16 mixed teams
- 37 nationalities on the field, 84% women, biggest age group 35 to 44
- 30 companies and 11 communities fielded teams
- 24,155 supporters sent 24,934 cheers, 5,125 of them with a personal message
- AED 340,570 in goodies and prizes from our partners
- 1.3 million social media views in the run-up, plus 2 million+ people reached through 29 outside channels
One morning, two tracks
For the first time, Pink Ladies Games welcomed mixed teams too. Next to 97 ladies teams, 16 mixed teams played their own track, powered by our brother format Hercules Trophy. The ladies played six battles: Ocean's Five, Pull It Together, Bounce Back, Mic Drop, Order Up! and In Her Shoes. The mixed teams played six more, from Truck Pulling to Giant Table Soccer. Same field, same breakfast, same marketplace, two sets of winners.
And that stays: from now on, Pink Ladies Games is open to mixed teams as well as ladies teams. Ladies teams remain at its heart, but colleagues, partners and friends of every gender can now play alongside them.
None of the battles asks for athletic talent. They ask for a team that talks, laughs and keeps going. That is why players under 25 and over 55 stood in the same line-ups, and why 12 women who signed up on their own were matched into teams and played alongside people they had never met.

On the Hercules Trophy side, Lucky Group took first and second place, with Media One Hotel third.
The real stars were on the sidelines
For every player, more than 40 people sent a cheer. Colleagues, partners, children and friends backed their team in the Tornea app for five weeks, and the busiest day was the eve of the event: 6,678 cheers on 30 October alone. The most-cheered team, GF Pink Warriors, collected 3,159.
"Proud to work alongside such an inspiring group of women. Your dedication, teamwork and positive impact in the workplace truly reflect the spirit of empowerment."
— a colleague cheering for GIG Pink Squad
The build-up was a game in itself. 69 teams took on 13 missions before and during the day, and 356 photos and videos were approved. 91% of all players were active in the app.
Communities, not just companies
Eleven communities brought 20 teams and 92 players: dragon boaters from Abu Dhabi, British Mums with four teams, the HOPE charity with three, TiE Dubai's founders, padel and hiking groups, a horse-riding club and three fitness communities. This is exactly what Pink Ladies Games was built for: women who would never meet at work, meeting on the same pitch.
What our partners brought
47 partners backed the day. Twelve of them filled the goodie bags with 9,500 items worth AED 313,600: about AED 679 of products in every bag, more than three times what the average player paid for her seat. Raffle and award prizes added another AED 26,970.
Health, where women already are
Free breast health consultations were part of the morning again, because prevention works best when it comes to where women already are: with their team around them.
What comes next
The 31 October edition was the restart, not the finish. Our dream is to grow Pink Ladies Games, open to ladies and mixed teams, into a series across the UAE: new editions in places like Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, each with its own setting from beach to desert to mountain, and a grand finale in Pink Month every October. We will get there step by step, with the partners who want to build it with us.
For brands: there is room for a title partner, battle partners and edition partners. If your brand wants to stand next to thousands of women, their families and their employers, talk to us. Seats for players open here.
