Rita Ora leads the performance of the official anthem for Open Masters Games Abu Dhabi 2026. She joins Leona Lewis, Carole Samaha, and Rashed AlNuaimi in the recording.

Producer Harvey Mason Jr. and composer Ihab Darwish create an arrangement that blends Western orchestration with traditional Emirati music. They combine English and Arabic lyrics while keeping the anthem’s original spirit.

The artists perform “Rise Up (The Anthem)” live at the opening ceremony on February 6. The performance symbolizes resilience, unity, and the achievements of athletes worldwide.

Rita Ora says the project inspires both athletes and artists, highlighting discipline and perseverance. Leona Lewis praises the anthem’s message, while Carole Samaha emphasizes international collaboration. Rashed AlNuaimi stresses the importance of an active, healthy lifestyle.

Director Taymoor Marmarchi oversees the project. He previously managed major music productions in Abu Dhabi, including the Special Olympics World Games and COP28.

The official music video appears on the Open Masters Games Abu Dhabi 2026 YouTube channel. Fans worldwide can stream the anthem on major music platforms.
