Football near Zabeel — ten minutes out
From Za'abeel or the World Trade Centre corridor, the game is one straight run down Sheikh Zayed Road. FOOTYUP plays evening football at Ballers, Downtown Dubai — you book one spot, we sort balanced teams, a referee and the kit.
From Zabeel to kickoff
Zabeel sits at the head of Sheikh Zayed Road — which makes Downtown a straight ten-minute run in the evening, whether you're coming from the park side, DWTC or Za'abeel 2. Games kick off after work, when the road clears and the heat drops.
Beat the road
Book before you leave DWTC — sixty seconds on your phone and the evening slot is yours.
Ten minutes down SZR
One straight run from Za'abeel to Dubai Fountain Street; the pin waits on your match card.
Kick off
Sides are levelled by rating before the whistle — ref, bibs and water already there.
The pitch — Ballers, Downtown Dubai
The home ground is Ballers, at the foot of the Burj Khalifa. Underfoot it's FIFA-grade turf laid over shock pads, and the ground reshapes from four small-sided courts into the full eight-a-side layout depending on the night.
Why a club, not a pitch booking
A pitch rental still needs a squad, bibs and someone who never gets to play because they're refereeing. FOOTYUP carries all of that — you bring your boots, we handle everything else:
One booking, full game
You take a spot, not a responsibility — the club levels the sides and keeps score properly.
Kit off your mind
Referee, bibs, ball and water ride along with every booking; boots are the only thing you own here.
Pick your format: 5-a-side, 7-a-side or 8-a-side — or see football in Downtown Dubai.
Questions, answered
Is there football in Zabeel itself?
Our games run at Ballers in Downtown — a straight ten-minute run down Sheikh Zayed Road from anywhere in Zabeel. As the club grows, so does the venue list.
When do games kick off?
In the evening, when the heat drops. Pick a slot on the schedule, book, and you're on the team sheet straight away.
Can I play without a team?
Of course — that's the standard way in. A single spot gets you a place in a levelled team the same evening.
What does it cost?
Between AED 65 and 80 a match depending on format and night — nothing extra to pay pitchside. Cancelling 24+ hours ahead converts the fee into credit.
