The Association of International All Star (AIA) is proud to unveil the official schedule for the inaugural AIA Global Tournament Qualifying Season, marking a historic milestone in All Star Cheer and Dance.
In collaboration with over 30 independent event producers across 15+ countries and 85+ qualifying events, this unprecedented initiative brings to life the first truly international, all-level, all-genre competitive pathway for the global All Star community.
“This is more than a competition — it's a statement to the global cheer and dance community that the future is here, and it's united,” said Jibreel Rayam, President of the AIA.
"For decades, stakeholders worldwide have longed for a true and rotating international experience that honors their talent and culture. The AIA Global Tournament is that experience — and it sets a new standard. This model uplifts gyms, supports event producers, and removes borders from what All Star can be. We are proud to be 1 of 1 — and we’re just getting started.”
The event includes divisions from a modified U16 (ages 10+) to Open, offering opportunities for athletes at every stage. AIA’s innovative revenue-sharing model ensures direct financial return to participating gyms and EPs, aligning with the organization’s mission to strengthen the industry through collaboration and transparency.
The AIA Global Tournament will take place July 16–20, 2026, in Montréal, Québec — one of the world’s leading sports cities — during the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the 1976 Summer Olympic Games.
