The Fifth Inter-Club Sports Carnival, alternatively termed as Gulshan Club Olympiad 2025, will be the biggest and most inclusive of its kind, hoped organisers at a press briefing at the club headquarters in Dhaka on Saturday.

The 10-day sports carnival will be held from October 30 to November 8 across several venues, including the Gulshan Club, Gulshan Youth Club, Kurmitola Golf Club and Bashundhara Sports Complex, informed speakers.

A total of 24 teams from 22 clubs, including five expatriate clubs, from Dhaka as well as across the country will participate in the fifth edition of the carnival.

"What began in 2019 as a bold initiative to bring social clubs together has now grown into a signature tradition of sporting excellence, friendship, and celebration," Tareq Rahman, chairman of the event's organising committee, told the press conference.

He also informed that more than 1200 participants will take part in 34 categories of 17 sports in this year's carnival.

Among others, Gulshan Club's president M A Kader spoke on the occasion.

Jerseys for the event and a mega trophy for the champions were unveiled during the press conference.
