2025 FIG World Gym for Life Challenge

Display teams Siamsa and Draíocht - A touch of Magic are getting ready to represent Ireland at the 5th FIG World Gym for Life Challenge, from 21st to 27th July, in Lisbon, Portugal.

The World Gym for Life Challenge is a contest for groups of gymnasts of all ages and from any kind of gymnastics. 

The FIG-GfA Committee will invite experts to evaluate performances and create a ranking list. This ranking list determines Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards. Gold is given to the top-scoring groups; Silver and Bronze are shared among the rest. Gold-awarded groups will perform at the World Gym for Life Gala.

During the WGfLC 2025 the city of Lisbon will be the stage for Show Performances, open for the public to enjoy Display Gymnastics. Participants will be preforming at the Pala Pavilhão de Portugal, one of the best pieces of architectural art of Portugal.
