The image shows the logo of the Council of British International Schools (COBIS) along with the text "Primary Games" and the location "Harrow Haikou, China" with the dates "12-15 March 2026". In the background, there is an athlete in mid-jump on a running track, with a stadium and buildings visible in the distance.

The 2026 COBIS Primary Games was hosted by Harrow Haikou,

in the Hainan Free Trade Port from 12 -15 March 2026. 

The 2026 COBIS Primary Games was a true example of sport bringing people together. They lasted three days, with one day each dedicated to athletics, football, and basketball. On the day prior to the opening ceremony, schools visited a local temple reminiscent of the Forbidden City, before taking part in a charity swimming event.

This swimming event was particularly special. Schools worked collectively to achieve a shared total distance, while also competing to swim the furthest as a team and, within each school, recognising the fastest swimmers in each stroke. This balance of collective effort and competitive spirit set the tone for the Games.

Although Haikou, as part of the Free Trade Port, offers visa-free access to many nationalities, the participation of over 25 nationalities from nearly every continent still required careful coordination. These challenges were successfully and magnificently managed through the support of government departments, local embassies, and Harrow Haikou staff.
