Dubai [UAE], December 21 (ANI/WAM): Dubai continues to solidify its standing as a premier global sports destination this December, hosting a dense calendar of continental and international championships, elite competitions, and high-level training camps.

These events consistently draw top-tier athletes and prominent sports figures from across the globe.

Regarded as the peak of Dubai's annual sports season, December features high-stakes competitions across a diverse array of disciplines, including marine sports, horse racing, combat sports, and both team and individual games. This variety further cements Dubai's reputation as a major year-end destination for international federations and world-class clubs.

Furthermore, Dubai serves as a preferred host for numerous winter training camps. International clubs and national teams are attracted by the emirate's advanced infrastructure, world-class facilities, and favorable climate, all supported by integrated logistical, medical, and technical services.

The month's schedule is anchored by several prestigious gatherings:

-Global Sports Summit (29-30 December): A major forum bringing together global sports leaders, decision-makers, and investors to discuss the future of the industry, including emerging trends in management, technology, and international partnerships.

-Globe Soccer Awards: One of football's most prominent annual honours, this event attracts elite players, coaches, and club presidents, reinforcing Dubai's position as a premier platform for celebrating sporting excellence.

-Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby Sevens: A cornerstone of the international rugby calendar that continues to draw massive global audiences.

Dubai's influence extends across multiple disciplines, hosting major annual tournaments and fostering talent through world-class academies.

The month also saw the successful launch of the inaugural World Triathlon Women's Cup Dubai 2025. Organised by the Dubai Sports Council under the supervision of the International Triathlon Union, the event underscores the emirate's commitment to sports development and women's empowerment.

Officials from the Dubai Sports Council and national sports federations emphasised Dubai's proven capacity to host international events to the highest global standards. These efforts align with Dubai's long-term sports strategy and its overarching vision to remain a definitive global sports capital. (ANI/WAM)
