Dubai Sports Weekend: What to Watch and Where to Join In on 7–8 November

Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November 2026

There’s a Saturday evening football match in Hatta and a Sunday afternoon fixture at Al Maktoum Stadium in Dubai. Both have advertised tickets from AED 20. If you’d rather get moving yourself, check whether the Sunday race still has places or choose a free session at Kite Beach. Hatta’s organised paddleboarding is already closed to new registrations.

Saturday football in Hatta

The UAE Pro League lists Hatta vs Khorfakkan at 7:30pm on Saturday. The seller lists doors at 5:30pm and tickets from AED 20. Set your destination to Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Stadium in Hatta. If you’re turning the match into a day out, keep enough time to eat and reach the stadium before kick-off. Plan the return journey separately, especially if you’re relying on public transport after an evening match. UAE Pro League fixtures · Hatta match tickets and gates

The match listing describes Category 1 and Category 2 as entrance-only. Its child policy allows one child under two per ticketed adult, sitting on that adult’s lap. Check the block before buying if you’re going with other supporters. For a first visit, look up the stadium entrance on your confirmation before setting out. Hatta seating and child terms

Sunday football at Al Maktoum Stadium

The league lists Al Nasr vs United at 4:55pm on Sunday. Its ticket portal names Al Maktoum Stadium and displays entry from AED 20. This is the city fixture and suits anyone who wants an afternoon match without making the drive to Hatta. Select the November match on the league portal and confirm the available section, gate time and child rules for that fixture. League kick-off listing · League ticket portal

If you’re buying for two adults, the advertised starting rates imply AED 40 for one match before any checkout charges. A similarly named stadium can take you to the wrong place, so keep the full venue name and the ticket’s map pin handy. The Saturday plan is a trip out to Hatta. The Sunday plan keeps the football within the city.

Sunday morning if you’ve entered the City Half Marathon

The Plus500 City Half Marathon runs around DIFC on Sunday. Choose your distance by age and what you can comfortably cover. The published options are 5km at 7am, AED 158, ages 6+ and 10km at 6:45am, AED 184, ages 10+. The 15km starts at 6:45am, AED 210, and the 21km starts at 6:15am, AED 236. Both longer distances are 16+. Confirm the total at checkout if entry is still open. Race organiser and distances · Registration and start times

The registration partner lists a deadline of Friday at 8pm, or earlier if full. If you have entered, check your race-pack instructions and start location. If registration is closed and you’re coming to cheer someone on, agree on a meeting point and follow the marshals’ directions around the course. Race logistics
