CLYMB Yas Island, Abu Dhabi will host the Second Official EEIPC 2026 World Skydiving Championships, delivered in collaboration with the Eurasian Skydiving Association (EASA) and the Emirates Aerosports Federation (EAF).
Running from 15–18 January 2026, the championships will welcome more than 250 elite athletes from over 30 countries to the world’s largest indoor skydiving flight chamber for four days of high-level international competition.
