Under the guidance of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, the emirate is set to enhance its stature as a regional and global sports hub. This ambition aligns with the Dubai Economic Agenda D33's objectives. In a significant move towards this goal, H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, and President of Shabab Al Ahli – Dubai Club, has given the green light for the architectural designs of two new stadiums in Dubai.

The new Shabab Al Ahli – Dubai Club stadium at Al Ruwayyah 3 and the Al Wasl Club stadium at Al Jaddaf are poised to accommodate over 20,000 spectators each. The Shabab Al-Ahli Stadium boasts an avant-garde design with a circular roof and eco-friendly systems, reflecting unity and balance. Meanwhile, the Al Wasl Club Stadium introduces a 'city within a city' design concept, emphasizing Dubai's urban identity and sustainability.

H.H. Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Sports Council, lauded the initiative as a testament to Dubai's commitment to advancing its sports sector. He highlighted the project's role in enhancing community participation in sports and preparing for major sporting events. The construction of these stadiums is seen as a step towards realizing Dubai's vision as a leading global sports hub.

Mattar Al Tayer, Commissioner-General of Infrastructure, Urban Planning and Well-Being Pillar, and Vice Chairman of the Dubai Sports Council, expressed gratitude towards H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed for his unwavering support for sports development.
