FIM Intercontinental Games Now Heading To Brazil In December 2026

12 May 2026 | All News

The FIM Board has approved the second edition of the FIM Intercontinental Games (ICG) to be moved from Kuwait to Brazil on the new dates of December 10-13, 2026 and hosted by the spectacular Autōdromo Internacional Ayrton Senna precinct in Goiania.

Six FIM Continental Unions – FIM Oceania (Australia and New Zealand), FIM Africa, FIM Asia, FIM Europe, FIM Latin-America and FIM North-America – will compete at the 2026 FIM ICG, which will be televised around the globe via FIM-MOTO TV and feature an expanded program of circuit racing and motocross.

The bitumen circuit in Goiania, which boasts a challenging 12-turn 3.853km layout that blends fast straights with technical corners, recently hosted the Brazilian MotoGP round in March 2026.

The two circuit racing categories at the ICG will be Supersport 300 and Supersport using FIM-supplied Yamaha YZF-R3 and YZF-R7s, while motocross is joining the ICG for the first time under an MX2 format with a range of brands available.

The number of CONU-selected riders for both circuit racing and motocross will be four (4) per category, with composition based on the following:

  • One ‘specialist rider’ who will be the CONU team captain and is permitted to be currently competing in a FIM World Championship during 2026 year as a permanent rider;
  • At least one female rider for each category;
  • All other selected riders may not be currently taking part in any FIM World Championship in 2026 as a permanent rider; and
  • Age ranges will be as per the FIM classes for each category:  i.e. Supersport 300, Supersport and MX

All selected riders for Team FIM Oceania will:

  • Have their travel costs covered by FIM and FIM Oceania (more details in expression of interest form);
  • Be required to wear safety apparel supplied by themselves in the colours and design in accordance with the FIM-supplied guidelines.  FIM Oceania will again be represented by the colour green; and
  • Be supplied a Team FIM Oceania uniform at not cost, which they can keep after the event.

Please note that Australian and New Zealand riders who previously submitted an expression of interest to represent FIM Oceania in Kuwait must now reapply for the Brazil event, while others still have time to apply for the first time.

Applications close at 5pm AEST on June 1, 2026, emailed to [email protected]
