Tennis Legends Wowed by Dubai Sports City

“City Dedicated to Sport Offers Huge Opportunities,” say Former World Champions

A group of international tennis stars in town to take part in “The Legends ‘Rock’ Dubai” tournament were today provided with an exclusive overview of Dubai Sports City, the world’s first integrated sports city.

Tennis legends Jim Courier, Michael Stich, Thomas Muster, Cedric Pioline were introduced to Dubai Sports City and took the opportunity to learn more about the project’s ambitious plans.

Tennis is one of the core sports supported by Dubai Sports City, which will be home to the David Lloyd Tennis Academy as well as providing the future venue for the “Legends” event once Dubai Sports City’s indoor arena is completed in 2009.

“We’re honoured by the presence of these tennis champions, who have done so much to shape the modern game,” said Malcolm Thorpe, Marketing Director, Sports Business, Dubai Sports City.

“We’re positioning Dubai Sports City to be one of the most advanced destinations for tennis enthusiasts, so The Legends’ enthusiasm for the project is extremely significant,” he added.

During their visit to Dubai Sports City’s offices, the stars reviewed the Masterplan for the development, and were provided with a full overview of the major sports venues, including the 10,000 seat multi-purpose indoor stadium and the facilities at the David Lloyd Tennis Academy, which will include nine outdoor courts and six indoor courts.

“We’re all really excited and impressed by the support for tennis in Dubai, and by the big plans for the future. Building a city dedicated to sport is a huge step that will create important new opportunities for the game,” said Jim Courier, former world number one tennis player and two-time French and Australian Open champion.

Dubai Sports City is one of the co-sponsors for The Legends “Rock” Dubai, organised by Delwood, which takes place at Dubai Tennis Stadium from 22-24 November 2007.

Tickets are available from regular ticket outlets such as Box Office Middle East, Virgin Mega Store, ITP Ticketsonline.com, Lacoste Boutiques (Mall of the Emirates and BurJuman), The Aviation Club reception and Dubai Tennis Stadium Box Office.

Dubai Sports City is a firm supporter of a number of the region’s leading sporting events, including the upcoming Mohammed Bin Rashid International Football Championship and the Masters Football Dubai Cup, as well as the Dubai Desert Classic.

Global Interest in Dubai Sports City Reaches New Heights

Delegation from Maharashtra, India, Tours Major Development as Countdown Begins for 2008 Opening of Key Assets

Global interest in the US$3.6 billion Dubai Sports City project is reaching new heights, according to a delegation of senior property developers from the State of Maharashtra, India, who viewed the project on a special visit organised by the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing. ‘Marathi Bandhkam Vyavasaik Sanghatana’, is an Association of Real Estate Developers and is currently organizing a study tour for its members consisting of 50 real estate developers / investors in order to gauge Dubai’s real estate offerings and investment opportunities to promote Dubai as a hub for realty investment opportunities:

The UAE’s positioning at the heart of a potential market of two billion people – as well as Dubai Sports City’s focus on globally-popular activities such as cricket, soccer and golf – provides the development with the potential to become a major sporting hub.

Over 60 delegates from Maharashtra toured the site this week and were offered exclusive access to some of the major assets of the project, including the landmark cricket stadium and the magnificent 18-hole championship golf course.

“Dubai Sports City has already achieved a very high profile in India, where there is real excitement about the scale of the project. Obviously, there are a number of elements that appeal particularly to the Indian market – such as the range of cricket facilities – but it is Dubai Sports City’s comprehensiveness and range that have really captured people’s imagination,” said Sandeep Joshi, one of the senior property developers from the State of Maharashta, India.

One of the highlights for many of the visitors was a discussion on the rapidly-developing plans for the ICC Global Cricket Academy, the purpose-built facility which will allow players, coaches, umpires, curators and administrators from around the world to develop their skills.

Also of significant interest were the residential and retail facilities under construction. Two of the flagship residential communities – the exclusive golf course villa community, Victory Heights and a waterfront Riviera-style apartment offering Canal Residence West – have attracted buyers from around the world.

“Dubai Sports City is entering into the next phase of development and promotion, particularly in relation to the international market,” said Khalid Al Zarooni, President of Dubai Sports City. “We continue to welcome delegations from around the world to inspect the site, and the increasing volume of these trade visitors is a reflection of the international excitement that the project is generating.”
