The new sport that is creating global connections as well as new types of ‘families’ and communities

It’s been said for decades that sport brings people together and builds communities – so what is the brand-new sport event that brought 2,000 athletes and 300,000 spectators together, and was viewed 3.2 billion times online… and why is it so special?
Phygital sport is a new global phenomenon that combines physical and digital versions of the same sport together into an exciting new format that appeals to all ages. But more importantly, it is building bridges between cultures, generations, and communities.
Leading the charge is Phygital International, the organization behind the Games of the Future (GOTF) dedicated to building inclusive spaces where people—regardless of age, gender, culture, or belief—can come together. Through phygital sports, the organization seeks to foster, not just a sense of community, but a sense of family.

“We’re not just about creating sports or gaming experiences; we’re building a global community that feels like family,” said Nis Hatt, CEO of Phygital International. “Phygital sports bring people together from all walks of life, breaking down barriers and sparking a shared passion. It’s more than a community—it’s a family where collaboration and innovation thrive.”

This sentiment is echoed by Juan Andres Guzman Wong, President of the Ecuadorian Association of Electronic Sports, who shared: “Ever since I was young, as a sports lover and video game fan, I dreamed of creating a community where the passion for video games could coexist with the excitement of physical activity.”

More Than Just a Game: Transformative Experiences
Phygital sports is more than entertainment—it’s a transformative experience that cultivates deep emotional connections. Fans and athletes alike describe the phygital community as a space that transcends competition, fostering personal growth, friendships, and a shared passion for innovation and excellence.
So how does it bring people together so effectively? The answer is simple, it bridges generational gaps through its use of eSports which appeal to younger audiences, while still retaining aspects of traditional sports that older generations can relate to. By blending strategy, competition, and teamwork, phygital creates a common ground where people of all ages can bond over shared experiences. It also fosters collaboration, creativity and teamwork – firstly between teammates participating in events such as the Games of the Future as well as for those behind the scenes, as this new sport becomes mainstream and grabs the attention from across the world.
This experience of phygital sports is reflected by Omar Saif Aamir Al Aamri, President of JR Style and winner of the GOTF Major in Oman for Phygital Football: “Phygital Football helped me make new friends and build lasting connections,” he shared. “The online community we created is essential for maintaining these friendships—we stay in close contact, learn from one another, and even organize pre-tournament competitions to prepare for big events.”

Phygital International has a big vision and plans for the future of phygital sport. Nis Hatt continued: “This really is the future of sport; it can and is transforming lives, building new communities, families, and friends right across the world. We’re also focused on building bridges for future generations, creating a legacy where innovation and inclusivity bring people together in meaningful ways. So, whether you’re an athlete, a fan, or simply curious, there’s a place for you in the phygital world. Join us in a movement that’s redefining connection, collaboration, and competition.”
