The project was carried out with the assistance and collaboration of the Supreme Council for Youth and Sports, the General Sports Authority, Infracorp, and Premier Q as part of initiatives to advance contemporary sports and offer a supportive setting for young people to follow their passions and hone their abilities.
The facility’s opening is a significant milestone in Bahrain’s sports industry’s growth. Additionally, it fosters athletic skill and gives young people new possibilities, strengthening the Kingdom’s reputation as a place that encourages innovation in sports and investment in young talent.
