The Sport Integrity Global Alliance (SIGA), the world’s largest independent and neutral coalition in the field of Sport Integrity, is pleased to announce the Sport Integrity Forum ASIA – Dubai Chapter, to be held on 12 November 2025, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Organised under the umbrella of the Sport Integrity Action Month, this high-level Forum marks a historic milestone: the official launch of SIGA ASIA – Chapter Dubai. This pivotal development will be formalised with the signature of a Memorandum of Understanding between SIGA and ISEZA – International Sports & Entertainment Zone, reinforcing Dubai’s growing leadership in global Sport governance. The establishment of SIGA ASIA comes just seven months after SIGA first unveiled its expansion plans during the Summit on Female Leadership in Sport – Dubai Edition (April 2025).
The Sport Integrity Forum ASIA – Dubai Chapter is hosted by ISEZA, the International Sports and Entertainment Zone in Dubai, and is supported by the Dubai Sports Council, consolidating Dubai’s position as a global hub for sport and innovation.
Under the theme “A New Chapter for Integrity in Asian Sport”, the half-day event will gather high-level leaders from Sport, government, business, academia, media, and civil society to debate the most pressing issues facing global Sport, with a particular focus on Asia.
The Forum will feature four high-level panel sessions:
- Sport Integrity 2030: A Vision with Future, for the Future – exploring how governance, innovation, and technology can ensure Sport adapts to global change while safeguarding its integrity.
- Playing for the Planet: Sport at the Heart of Sustainability & Social Impact – addressing the role of Sport in driving environmental responsibility, gender equity, and social inclusion.
- Beyond the Logo: Brands Driving Sport Integrity – examining how sponsors, broadcasters, and partners can uphold transparency and accountability in Sport.
- SIGA Champions: Athletes Leading the Way for Sport Integrity – highlighting the role of athletes as advocates and agents of change.
Emanuel Macedo de Medeiros, Global CEO, SIGA; Chairman and CEO, SIGA ASIA, emphasized the importance of this groundbreaking moment for SIGA, and for Sport Integrity in ASIA:
“The launch of SIGA ASIA – Dubai Chapter, marks an important milestone in the global expansion of SIGA.
From Dubai, with the support of our valued partners, we are building a platform that unites sports federations, leagues, clubs, athletes and fans, business and governments, across an entire continent.
Our goal is clear: to ensure Sport in Dubai, Riyadh, Doha, Delhi, Tokyo, Shanghai and across the whole Asia grows stronger — built on Integrity, Transparency, and Accountability. Delivering to the fullest its invaluable social, educational and economic role. For the benefit of all those involved and the wider global society.”
Damir Valeev, CEO, ISEZA, added:
“ISEZA is proud to partner with SIGA on this important initiative. Integrity is fundamental to the future of sport. With the support of the Dubai World Trade Centre, ISEZA is committed to being a hub where innovation, governance, and global collaboration come together to set new standards for the industry.”
