Over 40 courts and fields for all kinds of sport

- Padel courts with new upgrades
All courts are well maintained and equipped to match international standards, making them suitable for both casual players and competitive athletes.

A complete fitness and gym setup inside
Dubai Sports World isn’t just about courts and games. It also includes a full-scale gym and fitness studio, open to all levels. Group workouts like circuit training, Zumba, boxing-inspired cardio, and yoga are held daily.
Trainers are available on-site for those looking for structured guidance. The gym area has free weights, machines, and functional training zones—ideal for keeping up with your fitness routine even during the summer lull.
Kids’ summer camp and indoor play zones return
Parents looking for structured activities during the break will find the children’s summer camp at Dubai Sports World an ideal solution. Running until Friday, August 22, the camp blends play and learning, offering kids the chance to try different sports, develop new skills, and stay active indoors.
For younger children and toddlers, the Dubai Kids World zone returns with:
- Inflatable playgrounds
- Trampoline setups
- Soft play areas
- Climbing challenges and obstacle fun
- An arts and crafts corner to wind down with creativity
This section is designed to keep kids entertained while parents take part in their own fitness sessions or simply relax nearby.
Gaming, challenges and community events
Beyond the courts and classes, there’s a whole section dedicated to leisure and casual fun. Expect zones with:
- Classic arcade and retro video games
- Foosball and table tennis
- Arm-wrestling corners for quick-fire challenges
The venue is also hosting regular community-led events, which include friendly competitions and wellness talks. These are ideal for those who enjoy sport as a social activity rather than just fitness.
A fully inclusive experience for all age groups
Dubai Sports World has always promoted an inclusive approach. This year, the organisers have added more dedicated programming for:
- Senior citizens, with light fitness routines and guided sessions
- People of determination, with accessibility options, trained staff, and tailored games
This inclusive environment ensures no one is left out of the summer experience.

Dubai Sports World 2025 runs from Sunday, August 3 to Tuesday, September 2, inside Zabeel Halls 2–6 at Dubai World Trade Centre.
