KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 3 (Bernama) — The Local Organising Committee for the 6th Islamic Solidarity Games (Riyadh 2025) has officially unveiled the slogan for this year’s edition: “One Nation” – a phrase that captures the spirit of unity, solidarity and shared values among the peoples of the Islamic world through the power of sport.
The announcement comes 30 days before the start of the Nov 3-21 Games, with the official opening ceremony slated for Nov 7 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

With the continued support of our wise leadership, the Kingdom remains committed to embracing the Islamic world and highlighting the values that bind us together. No matter how intense the competition, we all meet under the belief that we are one nation,” he said.
