After more than three years and USD 100 million in investment, the official opening tomorrow of the 25,000 seat cricket stadium at Dubai Sports City has been called the realization of a dream, says its CEO.
Inaugurated tomorrow with a one day international cricket match between Australia and Pakistan, the Dubai Sports City cricket stadium – the only one of its kind in Dubai, and among the very best purpose-built cricket stadiums in the world – will serve as a venue for international and domestic cricket as well as hosting a significant number of international caliber entertainment events.
“Just three years ago, the founding partners of Dubai Sports City set out to build one of the world’s best cricket stadiums, and today we have realized that dream,” said U. Balasubramaniam, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Sports City.
“This stadium, together with the ICC Global Cricket Academy which is located onsite, will serve as a global centre of excellence for cricket. Tomorrow’s match between two of the world’s best sides is further testament to the potential of this facility as a truly international venue for test, one-day international, and Twenty:20 cricket matches.”
