Facility and Maintenance Support

Duplays was founded in 2007, to bring strangers together through the spirit of competition, by organizing sports leagues and teams for a myriad of recreational activities aiming to increase public health and shatter segregation through sport. Today, we embark on not just organizing high-quality sports experiences but building best-in-class multisport facilities across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Since teaming up with Yeadon Domes US in 2019, Duplays have become the sole distributor of air-supported domes across the region offering a turn-key solution for sports facilities. Yeadon has been building air-supported domes for over forty years with the purpose of increasing playing time for as many people as possible.

We’re on an exciting and groundbreaking mission, to increase the public's participation in recreational activities.

**About Duplays**:
Duplays was founded on a simple observation. People move to a new city and find it difficult to connect with others to play the sports they left behind but still love to play. We wanted to change that, so we started Duplays (yes a play on words for “Dubai plays”), as an online platform that would connect sports enthusiasts with sport leagues that we’d organize across the Emirate. We found the venues, hired the referees, and created teams and schedules. We did this at scale, across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, each night, every night to become the UAE’s largest provider of adult, participatory sport.Our mission today is no different. We want to be the sport venues of choice for people to play sports. Today, we embark on not just organizing high-quality sport experiences but building best-in-class sport facilities
