  • There’s even more reason for footballers to have a kickabout this Ramadan by taking advantage of Abu Dhabi Cricket’s (ADC) 50 per cent discount on their five-a-side football pitches for hire.

    ADC’s Soccer City has only been opened for two months but their brand new facility has already been a huge success with plenty of people taking to the field for a fun game of football.

    The football pitches are just the latest in a series of improved facility offerings from ADC including two new FIFA-approved floodlit grass football fields, a 40 per cent expansion of the Zayed Cricket Academy and LED floodlighting on the cricket ovals, increasing community cricket capacity by 30 per cent.

    The five-a-side pitches fits in line with Abu Dhabi Cricket’s vision of getting more people involved in sport.

    Aref Al Awani, general secretary, Abu Dhabi Sports Council, said: “We are thrilled to build new world-class facilities in Abu Dhabi with a view to increasing sports participation here in the emirate. Projects such as these are key to ensuring that the entire Abu Dhabi community is able to participate in year-round sports offerings.”

    And Ramadan is no different. Instead of paying Dh300 an hour for a five-a-side pitch, ADC are offering a massive 50 per cent discount, meaning you can play with your friends for Dh150 up until 02:00.

    Matt Boucher, CEO of ADC, added: “Initiatives such as these (the football pitches) will remain a priority for Abu Dhabi Cricket and will continue to form part of our long-term strategy as we target audiences from outside of our core cricketing fan base.

    “Being a multi-sport facility will enable us to become one of the premier community hubs in Abu Dhabi. My thanks to Abu Dhabi Sports Council and His Excellency Aref Al Awani – their pioneering support towards community sport in Abu Dhabi is unmatched.

    “It is thanks to their efforts that we are able to offer more sport here at Abu Dhabi Cricket, ensuring we have a direct benefit on the community and individuals by promoting sport as a lifestyle.”
