Welcome to Dubailand in the UAE Sports and Outdoor World – Sports City Nestling in the northern corner of Dubailand, Sports and Outdoor World, costing US$2.5 dollars and occupying 50 million ft/sq, is the first ever purpose built sports city in the world. Exclusive accommodation will offer superb investment opportunities on property purchases in one of the most active and healthy environments one could possibly imagine, and where property values are not overheated… yet. A city within a city, it has been designed with precision to reflect the passion and never ending spirit of all manner of sports.
Looking towards the 2024 Olympics Looking in detail at the specifications of the project, it looks as though Dubai may have had the 2020 Olympic Games in their sights when the proposals were put forward. Indeed it was originally proposed that a 25,000 seat sports arena be built, but the powers that be saw it as not being enough and upgraded to a 60,000 seat multi-purpose outdoor stadium and, for good measure, added a 25,000 seat cricket arena, a 10,000 capacity multi-purpose indoor arena, and a field hockey venue accommodating 5,000 spectators.
State of the art sports training facilities Also to be included will be a world class 18-hole championship golf course called the Dunes, an Olympic sized swimming pool, the purpose built Manchester United Soccer School, a David Lloyd Tennis Centre and the first Butch Harmon School of Golf outside of the United States. Such are the unrivalled sports facilities on offer that it has led to the International Cricket Council (ICC) to move their headquarters from London and make a new home here, where it is more centrally located to the real cricket loving countries of Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan and India. |
