Dubai’s biggest indoor sports venue is back for summer 2025

With the temperatures peaking outside, Dubai Sports World 2025 is arriving just in time. This massive indoor sports experience is returning for its 15th edition on Sunday, August 3, bringing together an impressive mix of competitive sports, fitness zones, kids’ activities, and more.

Held annually at the Dubai World Trade Centre, this is where the city heads when it’s too hot to play outdoors. The venue covers a staggering 300,000 square feet of fully air-conditioned space, offering locals and residents an escape into an active and engaging environment.

Whether you’re into team sports, individual training, or looking for family-friendly indoor fun, this season has something for every age and energy level.


Over 40 courts and fields for all kinds of sport

This year’s edition features more than 40 professional-grade courts and pitches, covering a wide range of activities. Visitors can pre-book or walk in for sessions across multiple sports:

  • Five-a-side and seven-a-side football
  • Tennis and badminton courts
  • Indoor cricket nets
  • Basketball and volleyball courts
  • 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.

Advanced players will appreciate the spacious layout and quality surfaces, while beginners can ease into the action through open sessions or friendly games.


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.


Timings, bookings, and what to expect

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

Bookings can be made in advance through the official platform. Pricing varies depending on the sport and facility, but rates remain accessible for both individuals and groups. Walk-ins are welcome for many areas, although peak hours (evenings and weekends) tend to fill quickly.

New events and announcements are expected throughout August, including short tournaments and promotional discounts.

Dubai Sports World 2025 offers a complete indoor sports and fitness experience in the heart of the city. Whether you’re planning a football match with friends, signing up for a yoga class, or keeping your children entertained with summer camp activities, this year’s edition packs more than enough variety to keep the entire family moving.

It’s the go-to venue for staying active through Dubai’s summer—without stepping into the sun.
