Sport plays an important role in the growth and appeal of any global city. It is a driver of economic development and has a significant bearing on tourism, lifestyle, public health and ultimately, a city’s international reputation.

Dubai has long recognised this reality and has worked strategically for many years to invest in its resources and capabilities across the sport sector. Today, Dubai is home to world-class facilities and venues, hosting homegrown local, regional and international events that welcome both elite athletes and grass roots participation.

Through the three core focus areas of Dubai’s Events, Facilities and People, this comprehensive study tells the story of sport in Dubai by quantifying its economic contribution, forecasting its impact in the years ahead and identifying areas for potential growth.

Dubai hosts a wide range of sports events

From major events on the world stage and regular elite-level domestic competitions through to a large number of smaller events encouraging grass roots participation :

  • Omega Dubai Desert Classic Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon

  • Dubai Tour
  • Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships
