Dubai, UAE – June 12, 2025: Dubai is set to welcome six of the world's top emerging netball nations this month, as the UAE Netball Cup 2025 makes its debut at Al Nasr Club's Sports Hall from June 15–21.

Hosted by the UAE Netball Federation in partnership with Falcon and Associates and Dubai Sports Council, the tournament has secured Dubai Holding Community Management (DHCM) as its title sponsor. The sponsorship highlights DHCM's commitment to fostering wellbeing and active lifestyles across Dubai's communities, while supporting the growth of international women's netball in the region. Believing in the unifying power of sport, DHCM's support for this premier event underscores its dedication to wellness-driven communities, youth empowerment and community engagement. This partnership reflects DHCM's broader mission to cultivate vibrant, people-first environments where wellbeing, social connection and community spirit flourish.

The competition will feature national teams from UAE (ranked 23rd), Republic of Ireland (18th), Singapore (19th), Namibia (20th), Kenya (25th) and the USA (30th). All six teams are ranked within the top 30 in the World Netball standings, setting the stage for an exciting week of closely matched fixtures and intense international rivalry.

Played in a round-robin format, the tournament will see three matches a day from June 15-17 and June 19-20, culminating in a thrilling finals day on June 21 (Saturday), where teams will battle it out for podium positions.

Speaking ahead of the tournament, Susanne Skelding, Founder of Active Netball and a key figure in the development of the sport in the region, said: 'We are incredibly proud to see Dubai host its first-ever World Netball-recognised event. The standard of competition will be fierce, with just a few ranking places separating each team. For the UAE Falcons, it's a huge moment to play on home soil against global opponents – and for fans, it's a chance to witness world-class netball up close.'

'At DHCM, we believe that sport is a powerful unifier. It builds bonds, boosts wellbeing and creates moments that communities remember. Our support for the UAE Netball Cup is more than a sponsorship; it's an expression of our values. We proudly stand behind a platform that champions women and brings communities together through sport,' said Francis Giani, Chief Community Management Officer, Dubai Holding Community Management.

The UAE Falcons, currently 23rd in the world, enter the competition with a dynamic squad that blends experienced leadership with rising stars from the country's U17 and U21 national development pathways. With home-court advantage and strong local support, they will be pushing for a landmark performance in front of a passionate crowd.

This tournament not only gives the Falcons a valuable opportunity to climb the international ladder but also marks a significant milestone for netball's growth in the UAE. As an officially sanctioned World Netball event, it reflects the increasing competitiveness of the sport and its expanding reach in the Middle East.

The UAE Netball Cup adds a new and exciting fixture to Dubai's growing calendar of international sporting events.

Joining Dubai Holding Community Management as Title Sponsor - The Entertainer, Cognita Schools, Rove Hotels, Dubai Duty Free and Mediclinic Middle East have been confirmed as official partners of the inaugural UAE Netball Cup.
