The Saudi Team competing in the International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO 2025) earned four bronze medals during its participation in the 57th edition of the competition, hosted by Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with 360 students participating from more than 90 countries around the world.

They underwent intensive training and preparation under the supervision of the King Abdulaziz and His Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity (Mawhiba), in strategic partnership with the Ministry of Education, through programs designed to enhance their scientific expertise in chemistry.

The students are scheduled to return home via King Khalid International Airport tomorrow, bringing with them four new global awards in chemistry.

These medals add to Saudi Arabia’s impressive record in previous IChO participations, bringing the kingdom’s overall tally to 49 awards, including 15 silver medals, 32 bronze medals, and 2 certificates of appreciation.
