“You Can Learn More About a Person in One Hour of Play Than in a Year of Conversation”(Plato). At Hercules Trophy Dubai, we believe that teamwork and well-being are essential to creating a thriving workplace. This year, we’re excited to announce that our event will be organized during the Dubai Fitness Challenge at The Sevens Stadium, a city-wide initiative encouraging everyone to get moving. As businesses increasingly prioritize the health and happiness of their employees, Hercules Trophy offers a unique opportunity for companies of all sizes to come together, have fun, and grow stronger as a team.
But first, what exactly is Hercules Trophy? No, it’s not an obstacle run! It’s an inter-company team challenge where teams of 5 to 7 players compete in 12 fun and exciting team games in a festive atmosphere. Companies of all sizes can participate. It’s designed to be inclusive, so everyone in your office will love it, regardless of age, background, or fitness level.
Here’s why we think it’s worth joining:
1. Organized During the Dubai Fitness Challenge
We’re proud to align with the Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC), an initiative encouraging everyone to dedicate time to their health. Hosting Hercules Trophy during DFC allows us to help businesses engage their employees in a fun and active way. Participating is a great way to incorporate fitness and well-being into your company’s routine, in line with Dubai’s growing fitness culture.
2. Support from Business Councils and Dubai Sports Council
It’s encouraging to have the backing of several business councils, who see the value in bringing companies together for a shared experience. These endorsements give us the confidence to create an event that helps build stronger networks while focusing on employee engagement. By joining, your company will have the chance to meet other like-minded organizations and form connections in a relaxed, supportive environment.
3. Proudly Made in Belgium
Hercules Trophy is Made in Belgium, reflecting our heritage and the values we’ve carried with us for over two decades. While we take pride in our origins, our focus remains on delivering a world-class event that is fun, well-organized, and meaningful for all participants, no matter the size or industry of the company.
4. Boost Employee Engagement
We all know engaged employees tend to perform better and drive happy customers. Hercules Trophy allows teams to step away from their usual workday, have fun, and bond in a unique setting. These shared experiences help create a more positive workplace culture, and we’re humbled to have played a part in fostering that for so many businesses.
5. Encourage a Healthy Lifestyle
In today’s work environment, well-being is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. We’re passionate about promoting well-being, and we hope that Hercules Trophy helps your team take small steps towards a healthier lifestyle. Whether it’s through fun challenges or simple activities, the event is designed to make fitness enjoyable and accessible to everyone.
6. Inclusive for All Companies
Whether you’re a small team or a large organization, Hercules Trophy is for everyone. We’ve designed the event to be welcoming and inclusive, ensuring that no matter your company’s size, background, or fitness level, everyone can participate and feel valued. We’re here to support you and your team, every step of the way.
7. A Chance to Connect
Hercules Trophy isn’t just about competition—it’s about coming together. With so many businesses taking part, it’s a great chance to connect, and celebrate. We’ve seen firsthand how the event creates lasting relationships and builds bridges between companies, and we hope you’ll experience that sense of community, too.
8. A Memorable Experience
We’re grateful for the many companies who’ve trusted us to create a memorable experience for their teams. Our aim has always been to offer more than just a day of fun—we hope to create lasting memories that inspire teamwork and a sense of belonging long after the event is over.
9. Proven in 10 countries, including Dubai
We started in Belgium in 1999 and have organised the format in 10 cities like Madrid, Johannesburg, Warsaw and New York. More than 74K employees have participated. Before the pandemic, we organised several editions in Dubai. Here’s a throwback to 10 years ago at the Sevens Stadium. We can’t wait to bring the vibe back.
