Open to all, not just Rotary club members, IGI is a multi-sport platform where every registration becomes a contribution towards causes in sports, education, health and community welfare. Registrations for IGI are open now at www.impactgamesindia.com, with participants able to choose from over 15 sports across four weekends in October and several venues.

Mumbai, August 15, 2026: In a city that has long embraced the marathon as its signature sporting event, a new movement is set to take root this October, one that will run for four full weekends with over 15 different sporting events. Impact Games India (IGI), an initiative 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 regardless of age, background or athletic ability, with one simple idea: play a sport, and your participation fee becomes a contribution to causes in sports, education, health and community welfare.

Dubbed as Mumbai's first city-wide, multi-sport platform of its kind, IGI will run across four weekends in October 2026 at venues across the city, culminating in a Grand Finale and Closing Ceremony on 1 November. The event expects over 5,000 participants across 15+ sports, spanning racquet sports such as badminton, tennis, squash and pickleball; team sports including cricket, football and volleyball; mind sports such as chess, bridge and carrom; and, notably, inclusive and adaptive categories such as blind chess and disability sports, ensuring the platform is built for every Mumbaikar and not a select few.

Unlike a one-day event, 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.
