Are you ready for the biggest sports event of the summer? The Jerusalem Winner Grand Slam will take place in August and promises once again an amazing experience for the whole family!
Following a successful sports event last year, the Israel Athletics Association and the Jerusalem Municipality are pleased to host again the Jerusalem Winner Grand Slam, which will be held this year on August 14, 2025, at the Givat Ram Athletics Stadium. The event will feature top athletes, improved and particularly exciting races, attractions for the whole family, all in the Jerusalem Mountain air.
Last year, the competition brought about 80 athletes from 22 different countries who came to Israel to compete and take part in this coveted competition, which awards important points in European and world rankings. This year, the expectation is to increase the number of international participants and bring the best to Israel, ensuring a quality sports experience for the stadium audience and viewers at home.
The Grand Slam is a SILVER level competition, meaning it is a prestigious event in terms of the World Athletics Federation and the European Athletics Association, awarding many points to its participants. As a reminder, after hosting the U18 European Championships in July 2022, the U20 European Championships in August 2023, and of course the Jerusalem Grand Slam 2024, the organizers received praise and compliments for their hospitality and professionalism. Therefore, the opportunity was given to continue hosting a large international competition in Israel, especially in its capital, Jerusalem.
The various events planned for the competition:
100m, 200m, 800m, 1,500m, 4x100m, 100m H, 110m H, 2000m stc, High Jump, Long Jump, Discus Throw

We are looking forward to a quality competition with top world and European athletes, which will provide an exceptional sports experience. I want to express a huge thank you to the Jerusalem Municipality, the dedicated team of the Athletics Association, and the staff of the Givat Ram Stadium in Jerusalem, who invest a lot of time and effort to organize this event at the highest level. I invite everyone to come and enjoy a day of world-class athletics during the summer vacation.”
Mr. Moshe Leon, Mayor of Jerusalem: “Jerusalem, the sports capital of Israel, is proud to host the Grand Slam competition in 2025 as well. After last year’s success, we are looking forward to and excited about the international and prestigious competition that will take place at the National Stadium in Givat Ram, and we are expecting many competitors from Israel and abroad.
