Baseball United announces completion of Dubai’s new Ballpark

Baseball United, the first professional baseball league focused on the Middle East and South Asia, has announced the completion of Dubai’s Baseball United Ballpark, the first professional baseball field in the region.

The field will be home to all Baseball United events, tournaments, and its upcoming league season, as well as serve as a launchpad for international events with top baseball teams from around the world.

The field, completed in just 38 days, has this week debuted to the public at the Arab Classic Tournament.

Being held from 7th to 10th November, nine nations from the GCC and Indian subcontinent will participate in the largest and most competitive international baseball tournament in the region’s history.

In a statement, Kash Shaikh, Chairman and Chief Executive of Baseball United, commented “we have come a long way in a short time.

“In just two short years - fueled by the belief and support of the Dubai government, regional baseball federations, baseball legends, baseball fans around the world, and the will and resilience of our own Baseball United team - we’ve all made history.”

The announcement on completion of the professional baseball field follows Baseball United launching its official merchandise line in Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, and The Galleria Mall (Abu Dhabi) in partnership with GO Sport.

Official baseball jerseys are now available for sale for the first time, including the jerseys of all four inaugural Baseball United franchises, the Mumbai Cobras, Karachi Monarchs, Mid East Falcons, and the Dubai-based Arabia Wolves.
