“IEG Arabia's partnership with the World Firefighters Games 2026 reflects our ambition to expand internationally and consolidate our presence in strategic growth markets. The Middle East is a key priority for us, and trade fairs also have an important role to play in supporting Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, creating platforms for investment, knowledge exchange and industry development,” said Corrado Peraboni, CEO of Italian Exhibition Group S.p.A.
Francesco Santa, CEO of IEG Middle East, explained: "We are honoured to have been chosen to organise the Firefighter Health & Wellness Expo at the World Firefighters Games 2026.

We will bring together the world's leading brands, organisations and innovators to support the health, performance and well-being of firefighters, while creating a dynamic environment that promotes collaboration, innovation and industry connections ”.
The Expo is expected to attract tens of thousands of visitors, industry professionals, athletes and delegates throughout the Games, showcasing the latest products, services and innovations designed to improve the fitness, endurance, safety and overall quality of life of firefighters.
With preparations already underway, IEG Arabia will work closely with the 2026 World Firefighters Games to deliver a world-class exhibition experience that reflects the event's scope, prestige and international importance.
