The 2025 Orkney Islands Games officially begin today with a vibrant opening ceremony that marks the start of a week-long celebration of sport, community, and island spirit. Among the many participants from across the globe, Team Gozo will be proudly flying the Gozitan flag, represented by a strong delegation of 51 athletes.
Taking place between the 12th and 18th of July, the Games will see Gozitan athletes compete in six different disciplines: athletics, cycling, golf, swimming, triathlon, and football. These athletes have trained tirelessly in preparation for the event, which offers not only the opportunity to showcase their abilities on an international stage but also to strengthen camaraderie and promote a culture of sport within the Gozitan community.
For many of these athletes, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience – competing in a prestigious multi-sport event alongside other island nations and regions. Their participation is a reflection of the continued growth of sport in Gozo, supported by dedicated coaches, families, and sports associations.
Team Gozo enters the Orkney Games with pride, passion, and determination, eager to represent their island to the best of their abilities.
