Dubai Sports Sector Strategic Plan 2033 set to offer incentives

The Dubai Sports Sector Strategic Plan 2033, recently launched by Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Sports Council, has placed significant emphasis on developing public and private sports clubs, making them more efficient and sustainable, as a key pillar of the next phase of work.

The new plan, overseen by the Dubai Sports Council, will aim to increase sports clubs’ revenue from commercial activities to 50% by 2033, compared to the current 15%.

This move is meant to enhance the self-sufficiency of the clubs and enable them to rely on internal and commercial revenues to ensure their financial and operational sustainability in the long-run.

As per the plan, private clubs will receive financial and operational support amounting to Dhs.20 million annually, to ensure the development of sporting talent, enhance community impact, and guarantee the clubs’ financial and commercial sustainability, based on a set of key performance indicators.
