Mumbai Launches Impact Games India, City-Wide Multi-Sport Event

Mumbai is set to witness a new sporting phenomenon with the launch of Impact Games India (IGI), a first-of-its-kind city-wide multi-sport event. The event, led by the Rotary Club of Mumbai SOBO, with support from Rotary Club of Bombay Airport, under Rotary District 3141, will bring together thousands of Mumbaikars across 15 different sporting events.

The event will run for four full weekends in October 2026 at venues across the city, culminating in a Grand Finale and Closing Ceremony on 1 November. IGI expects over 5,000 participants across various sports, including racquet sports, team sports, mind sports, and inclusive and adaptive categories.

According to Rajan Dua, District Governor, Rotary District 3141, the event is designed to make a meaningful difference to the lives of people and communities. He said, "We believe a sporting event like IGI can become a sustainable platform to raise funds over the years and create a lasting impact."

IGI is designed as a sustained, month-long movement, and 100 percent of net proceeds raised through registrations and partnerships will go towards verified charitable causes, executed through the Rotary Club of Mumbai SOBO Charitable Trust. Sanket Jain, Project Director, IGI and President, Rotary Club of Mumbai SOBO, said, "This platform is as much about community well-being as it is about competition."

IGI is also recognised by Fit India, the Government of India's national movement for fitness and healthy living. As part of this collaboration, IGI will support the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan (NMBA), the national campaign for a drug-free India.

The event is open to participants across age groups and skill levels, with the aim of promoting community well-being and healthy living. With its unique concept and inclusive approach, IGI is set to become a landmark event in Mumbai's sporting calendar.

Mumbai has long been known for its sporting spirit, and IGI is expected to take this to a new level. The event will provide a platform for Mumbaikars to come together, compete, and contribute to a noble cause.

In the coming weeks, more details about the event, including registration procedures and schedules, will be announced. For now, Mumbaikars can look forward to a exciting and impactful sporting experience.

The success of IGI will depend on the participation and support of the community. With its strong concept and noble cause, the event is expected to make a lasting impact on the lives of Mumbaikars.

In conclusion, Impact Games India is a unique and exciting initiative that promises to bring together the community and promote healthy living. With its inclusive approach and charitable cause, IGI is set to become a benchmark for sporting events in Mumbai.

The event will be a significant step towards promoting fitness and healthy living in Mumbai. With the support of the community, IGI is expected to become an annual event, providing a platform for Mumbaikars to come together and make a difference.

Overall, Impact Games India is a groundbreaking initiative that is set to revolutionize the sporting landscape in Mumbai. With its unique concept, inclusive approach, and noble cause, IGI is an event that Mumbaikars will look forward to for years to come.
