2016 COBIS Games - Secondary

Dubai College hosts COBIS Secondary Games 2016

The COBIS Secondary Games took place at Dubai College from 10-12 March 2016 with teams travelling from Africa, Europe and Asia to take part.

Over three days, the students competed in athletics, swimming and football in a bid to win the overall championship.

The opening ceremony kicked off the Games at the Hamdan Sports Complex, the largest aquatic centre in the world!

First up was swimming, which, after a gruelling day of hard competition, the British School of Al Khubairat won with 200 points, pipping Dubai College to the post by just 10 points and St Catherine's British School, Athens by 20 points.

Day 2 of the Games got underway at New York University, with the talented students turning their skills to athletics. After a fun-fuelled day on the track and field, Dubai College came out on top with 200 points, King's College Madrid came in second with 190 points and the International School of Madrid came third with 180 points.

The final day of the Games took place at Dubai College with students raring to get going on the football tournament. After an intense day on and off the pitch, the British School of Al Khubairat were once again crowned first place with second place awarded to King's College Madrid and third place to Dubai College.

After a quick turnaround, the closing ceremony took place at Jebel Ali Resort with a spectacular firework display.

During the closing ceremony, the British School of Al Khubairat was awarded first place in the COBIS Secondary Games, with Dubai College coming in second place and King's College Madrid in third place.
