Football from Dubai Sports City
FOOTYUP’s current ground is Ballers in Downtown Dubai. This page explains the option for players travelling from Dubai Sports City; it does not advertise a FOOTYUP venue inside Sports City.
Football facilities inside Sports City
Dubai Sports City’s official Football Academy page lists two full-size outdoor pitches and a full-size indoor pitch. If staying within Sports City is your priority, contact the venue about available sessions or hire, the playing format and how to book.
Ask the venue whether it offers coaching, individual places in an organised game or pitch hire for your own group. Confirm the date, price and booking terms for the option you choose.
Choosing an individual game in Downtown
FOOTYUP’s current venue is Ballers, 810 Dubai Fountain Street, Downtown Dubai. You book one place in an organised 8-a-side session. Teams are arranged at the pitch, so this can suit someone who wants to play without building a squad.
Compare that option with a Sports City booking before paying: the journey, the session format and whether you need to bring other players are different. FOOTYUP does not currently list a game at the Sports City Football Academy.
Plan the outward and return journey
Open a route from Sports City to Ballers and replace the starting point with your address. Check the estimate around your intended departure time. For the return trip, allow for the full 90-minute session plus time to leave the ground.
If friends share transport, first confirm that each player has a place in the same game. Keep the match-card destination available for the driver and check any booking updates before setting off.
What to compare before booking
- Individual place or whole-pitch hire: who supplies the other players?
- Indoor or outdoor: what surface and footwear rules apply?
- Kickoff and session length: can you make both journeys?
- Total cost and cancellation terms: check the provider you are paying.
Use our Dubai football venue guide for more booking options, or the FOOTYUP schedule for current Ballers places.
Questions, answered
Can I come alone?
Yes. Book an individual place and come on your own. Organisers arrange the teams at the session; you do not need to bring a team.
How does a match run?
Our current games are 8-a-side at Ballers Downtown. A session lasts 90 minutes. Check the match card for the number of places; the organiser manages teams and substitutions on the day.
How do I book a spot?
Choose a published game in the schedule. Sign in or create an account, complete your player profile and follow the booking steps. For a paid game, your place is confirmed after full payment. Check your confirmation before travelling.
What does a game cost?
The current price is shown on each match in the schedule. Review any service fee and the full amount at checkout before paying. The pitch, bibs and water are included.
How do refunds work?
If you cancel your booking at least 24 hours before kickoff, the booking amount is returned only as bonus credit in your personal account. The service fee is non-refundable. Refunds are issued only as bonus credit in your personal account, available for future bookings. Money is not returned to a card, bank account or in cash. Later cancellations and no-shows are not refunded. Repeated no-shows may restrict future access.
