Where to play basketball in Dubai? The best courts and halls

Basketball in Dubai

Basketball has never been one of the most popular sports in the United Arab Emirates. Traditional national sports such as falconry and camel racing reign supreme among Emiratis. Among the numerous residents from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, cricket reigns supreme, and huge TVs in restaurants show football matches in the evenings, which are particularly popular with the British, French and other residents of Dubai. But what has made basketball increasingly popular in the UAE?

The Dubai Basketball League was established in 2013 as the official basketball league of the United Arab Emirates. Seven teams from across the country participate in it. Dubai basketball clubs have always been the most successful in the league, which may have prompted sponsors and team owners to invest in basketball in this city. In 2023, the Dubai Basketball team was formed, which, after two years of existence, made its debut in the Euroleague, the best European basketball competition. Full stands and growing interest in the sport have led to the construction of many new basketball courts in Dubai.
