Supported by Olympic Solidarity and jointly organized by the Ministry of Education and Skills Development and the Bhutan Olympic Committee, the Games aim to nurture young sporting talent, uphold Olympic values, and create meaningful sporting experiences that contribute to the holistic development of Bhutan’s youth—both on and off the field.

Bhutan is gearing up for a sports extravaganza as the 17th National School Games 2025 hits Sarpang! This year, 53 schools and 420 talented athletes from across the country will come together for an unforgettable celebration of youth, skill, and sportsmanship.

The competition will feature six exciting sports: chess, volleyball, basketball, badminton, aerobics, and table tennis, giving students a platform to showcase their talent, determination, and teamwork.

For generations, school sport has been a space for play, recreation, and local pride. What is evolving now is the intentional design of sport as a tool for youth development. Winning matches is only one part of the story; growth, learning, teamwork, and integrity are the outcomes that matter most.

The 17th National School Games (NSG) 2025, organized by the Ministry of Education and Skills Development in collaboration with the Bhutan Olympic Committee (BOC) and supported by Olympic Solidarity, will be held in Sarpang from 24 to 28 December 2025.
