The buzz and atmosphere of having so many sprightly young boys and girls eager to expand their sports talents with our world-class coaches is always an inspiration for us to want to give more. “The world-class facilities we’ve built at Dubai Sports City as well as the academies is all about getting children active and the fact that these facilities are used by world-class sporting stars acts as a great inspiration to kids that want to follow in their footsteps.
