The legacy of Zayed Sports City extends more than four decades and involves millions of people from around the world. Built to fulfil the vision of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, founding father and first president of the UAE, ZSC is consistently recognised as the best sports and entertainment venue in the region, serving the local and international community in a variety of ways.
At our core are commitments to make sports accessible to everyone; provide sports at a grassroots level; promote healthy lifestyles; and enhance the well-being of the people of the UAE. We achieve this by organising and hosting local participation-based events; providing spaces where Abu Dhabi’s sports clubs and culture can flourish; staging and hosting exciting entertainment activities; providing world-class venues that attract the biggest international events and many other tactics.
Zayed Sports City’s success is not by accident - it’s driven by a customer-forward approach that values feedback, learning and teamwork. Our sports complex is dedicated to honouring the vision that was laid out many years ago, and it’s a responsibility we’re both proud and humbled to carry.
