DSC cricket stadium to hold first event

Dubai, March 17, 2009

The Dubai Sports City (DSC) cricket stadium will host its first event in April with the Pakistan versus Australia cricket series, it was revealed at the Dubai Mega Projects (DMP) 2009 forum.

DMP 2009, which opened on March 15 at the Westin Hotel in Dubai is ending today (March 17).

Malcolm Thorpe, a senior spokesperson for DSC, said that development’s ‘city within a city’ concept allows the various assets within the city to build on each others strengths.

“It is the integration of a mega project’s different elements which propels the whole project to completion,” said Thorpe.

“There are often asset-specific time delays for various reasons, but there becomes an overriding collective confidence that the project will be delivered and be a success as planned,” he added.

DSC is a $4 billion, 50 million square feet mixed-use development which will be the world’s first integrated purpose-built sports city.

“The sheer size and scale of integrated projects encourage completion and delivery despite what can be considered short-term worries. We are extremely proud of the products we are delivering within DSC,” said Thorpe.

Recently completed projects include the first handover of properties in the Victory Heights development at DSC, and The Els Club golf course, which has already celebrated its first year of operation.

“DSC is providing a lifestyle choice for families to live, learn, work and play. People are now making DSC their home, and as more areas of the project open, we will see a thriving community developing,” concluded Thorpe.

The DSC development will be built around five major sports venues and feature a series of major sports academy facilities.

Included within the DSC academies campus is the DSC football academy, the world hockey academy, a swimming academy and rugby academy as well as the International Cricket Council’s own ICC global cricket academy. – TradeArabia News Service
