Dubai Sports World (DSW) is set to make a high-energy return this summer with a special August edition, offering Dubai’s residents and visitors a vibrant indoor destination to stay fit, social, and active throughout the hottest part of the year.
Running from August 3 to September 2 at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), and organized in partnership with Dubai Sports Council (DSC), DSW 2025 spans 25,000 square metres of indoor space and features over 40 courts and pitches for a diverse range of sports and family-friendly activities. The venue will be open daily from 8:00 AM to 12:00 midnight.
⚽ Fitness & Fun for All Ages
Sports enthusiasts can enjoy everything from basketball, football, badminton, cricket, padel, and volleyball to pickleball, tennis, and table tennis, all supported by top-tier facilities. The free-access community gym returns, boasting cardio machines, functional training rigs, and strength zones for casual and serious athletes alike.
Dubai Kids World is back and bigger than ever, with inflatable slides, soft-play obstacle courses, and retro arcade games, offering an exciting and supervised space for children while parents take part in their own fitness routines.
🏃♂️ Dubai’s First Indoor Half Marathon
Kicking off opening day, Sunday, August 3, is the debut of DSW Run IN, Dubai’s first-ever indoor half marathon — a professionally timed race in a fully climate-controlled space, complete with cheering zones and hydration points.
Later in the month, on Saturday, August 23, the DSW Summer League will bring together top corporate teams from across the UAE for a day of spirited workplace competition and team building.
