Dubai’s only full-sized indoor football pitch reopens at ISD, featuring sustainable materials and innovative design to enhance player safety and performance.

Dubai, UAE, October 2, 2024

ISD Dubai Sports City is thrilled to announce the reopening of Dubai’s only full-sized indoor football pitch, made with imported, FIFA-approved materials to ensure optimal performance and player safety. This state-of-the-art indoor facility, located within ISD Dubai Sports City, is designed to enhance the playing experience for both amateur and professional athletes, while prioritizing sustainability and health.

Under the leadership of CEO Daniels Petrovs, ISD Dubai Sports City continues to set new standards in sports facilities. The newly relaunched pitch features a cutting-edge surface that uses natural cork infill sourced from Portugal, replacing traditional tire crumb rubber. This innovative choice addresses health concerns related to chemical exposure, particularly for children, ensuring a safer playing environment.

Constructed with the FIFA-certified GreenFields MX Elite system imported from the Netherlands, the pitch guarantees optimal performance and is fully recyclable, significantly reducing the carbon footprint typically associated with artificial sports fields.

This launch marks a significant milestone for Dubai’s sports community. After overseeing the installation of world-class pitches across Europe, I am excited to bring the same high standards to ISD Dubai Sports City. Our focus is on providing top-tier conditions that promote both player health and sustainability.

– Daniels Petrovs, CEO of ISD Dubai Sports City

Daniels Petrovs, who has been at the helm of ISD Dubai Sports City for the past 15 months, has extensive experience creating premier football pitches. His vision for the complex includes transitioning all existing pitches to hybrid, long-lasting fields, further enhancing the facilities, ensuring environmental sustainability, and maintaining an unmatched standard.

The indoor pitch has been completely renovated and is the best in Dubai in terms of safety and environmental considerations. We will use our pitch to train both beginner and professional players.

– Javier Fernandez, Technical Director of LaLiga Academy.

ISD Dubai Sports City is also launching the first-ever Corporate Football League, which will hold its matches on the same air-conditioned indoor pitch. The league features participation from top companies in Dubai, including DHL, Gymnation, PwC, and others. The goal of the league is to promote team sports and wellness among employees in Dubai, enhancing their productivity and performance.

This full-sized indoor pitch represents a major step forward for ISD Dubai Sports City and underscores our commitment to providing professional-grade facilities to our clients. Whether it’s local schools, LaLiga Academy, corporate leagues, or large-scale events, having access to a top-tier, FIFA-certified pitch sets us apart. It’s not just about offering a space to play; it’s about elevating the entire experience. Our clients expect the best, and this new facility allows us to deliver exactly that—enhancing performance while promoting safety and sustainability.

– Simon McGuinness, General Manager of ISD Football.

As ISD Dubai Sports City continues to innovate, this new indoor football pitch is just the beginning of a broader transformation aimed at supporting the health and well-being of young athletes in Dubai.
