UAE National Sports Day
Watersports fun for the entire nation in partner with Nakheel
Presentation of the event
UAE National Sports Day was launched in 2016 following a directive of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Ruler of Dubai. The event, which organisers hope will become an annual UAE activity, aims to promote healthy living, sporting competition and positive interaction to create among multi-cultures living in the UAE.
In 2016, Stand-up paddling, kayaking and sailing were among the activities on offer, as part of a free community event, organised by the Nakheel Marine Group and Nakheel Asset Management and Infrastructure. More than 70 people, including Chairman Ali Rashid Lootah, senior management, staff, Palm Jumeirah residents and water sports enthusiasts took part or came to watch.
SeaYou supports the UAE National Sports Day by providing watersports equipment and lifeguards.
