ABOUT HADO

HADO is the world's first Technosport merging the best of physical sports and esports together to create a high-intensity physical sport with the level playing field of a computer game. A sport where size and strength do not decide the winner, instead, factors that everyone has an equal ability to train are key. No disconnection from reality. No complex controls, just intuitive movement.

PHIVE sits on the lands and waters of the Burramattagal of the Dharug nation and we acknowledge Burramatta as significant place of ceremony, story and tradition. We pay our respects to Dharug Ancestors and Elders, past, present and future and extend our respect to all First Nations people joining this program and visiting PHIVE.
