DSC Indoor Arena

The DSC Indoor Arena is a multi-purpose indoor sports and event venue located within Dubai Sports City, a large sports complex in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The arena was planned to be a world-class facility designed to host a variety of indoor sports such as basketball, tennis, ice hockey, as well as concerts, exhibitions, and other major entertainment events.

Construction began in the late 2000s with a planned seating capacity of around 15,000 to 19,000 spectators, including about 100 VIP boxes and a dedicated VVIP area for dignitaries. The architectural design of the arena was inspired by the logo of Dubai Sports City, featuring a distinctive facade in the colors of DSC.

Though construction was initially delayed due to the late-2000s economic recession, the DSC Indoor Arena remained a core part of the Dubai Sports City vision to provide a comprehensive sports infrastructure.

The arena is designed with thoughtful amenities, including prayer rooms oriented toward Mecca, separate facilities for female guests, and various hospitality options. The venue is intended to support both sports tournaments and large-scale music and cultural performances, enhancing Dubai's reputation as a premier destination for world-class sporting and entertainment events.

Dubai Sports City itself includes several other prominent venues such as the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, the LaLiga football academy, and a golf course designed by Ernie Els, making the area a focal point for sports development and community engagement in the region.
