A look at some of the major sporting events scheduled for 2025, including the FIFA Club World Cup, the Rugby World Cup, and the World Athletics Championships.
Asia’s no. 1 pole vaulter, the Philippines Ernest John Obiena is expected to join the World Athletics Championship in Tokyo, Japan.There may be no Olympics or Paralympics in 2025 but the sporting calendar is still steeped in high quality tournaments.

Undoubtedly the global profile will be helped if the United States sevens star Ilona Maher does a reverse Antoine Dupont and books herself a place in the squad. With over four million social media followers, Maher is going to be one of the faces of rugby for some years to come.
