The Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), in association with Dubai Sports Council, have announced that the sixth edition of the popular annual event will be the biggest and best yet.
Spread across Sheikh Saeed Halls 1, 2 and 3, and the Trade Centre Arena – covering 25,000 square metre of air-conditioned, indoor space – the 2016 DSW will be packed with a 12-week schedule of sports, tournaments, academies and activities, starting Sunday, June 5, and ending on August 27.
Commenting on the return of DSW, DWTC vice president of venues Ahmed Alkhaja, said: “Dubai Sports World aims to ensure that sports enthusiasts have access to the best, most exciting indoor fitness venue and activities in the region.
“This year’s venue is bigger and better and will offer a range of academies and sports – providing everyone the opportunity to move, have fun, and remain healthy indoors during the hot summer months.”
Dubai Sports Council general secretary Saeed Mohamed Hareb added: “As part of our efforts to promote a sporting culture in Dubai, it is exciting to witness the growth of Dubai Sports World, which has become synonymous with summer in Dubai.”
The expanded venue will this year feature four pitches for five-aside football, four pitches for seven-a-side football and rugby, six basketball courts, three tennis courts, eight badminton courts, a cricket pitch and a gym.
