OBJECTIVES:

• To foster better relationship between Muslims and other Americans through sports
• To execute professional sports and athletic events
• To organize Muslim athletes, coaches, officials and sports events
• To promote athletic skills within the Muslim community
• To develop higher appreciation for sports among Muslims 

The Islamic Games was initially held in the late 80’s and early 90’s.  After some years, as the Muslim population increased and their needs grew, the Islamic Games embarked to operate at a higher level to accommodate the expansion.  Many more events, certified officials, appropriate venues, and a greater participation lead the Committee to build an organization that would ensure that the Islamic Games is presented professionally while becoming a major annual attraction for North American Muslims. 

The Islamic Games is somewhat like the PanAm Games or the Asian Games or the Commonwealth Games; it brings athletes to compete and network with each other.  In this instance, the Islamic Games provides a forum for Muslim and other American athletes and teams to participate in sports and athletics with others in a healthy environment.   Islamic Games plans to host regional games in the USA that would culminate at a National Islamic Games.

The Islamic Games also provides an ideal opportunity for Muslim companies as well as companies interested in the American Muslim market to gain ready access to the Muslim community.  With the growing interest and increasing attendance at Islamic Games events sponsorship and vending are very lucrative opportunities.

The Islamic Games is planned and executed in partnership with local communities and organizations.
