The Islamic Solidarity Games are a regional multi-sport event held between nations from the Muslim world. A men's football tournament has been held at every session of the Games since the first edition in 2005. Since the 2013 edition, the tournament has been limited to under-23 teams, plus up to three overage players for each squad.[1]

There was no football tournament at the 2025 Games, with futsal being played instead.[2]
