ACTIVE is powered by Zayed Sports City (ZSC) with world-class facilities aimed to deliver unparalleled experiences to the community.

Al Maryah Island, Abu Dhabi’s business and lifestyle destination is soon becoming a burgeoning sports and recreation destination as well.  Located on the north side of Al Maryah Island, ACTIVE, powered by Zayed Sports City (ZSC) is a world-class sports destination encompassing three outdoor football fields, four tennis courts covering a total area of 3,200 square meters (Sqm), and four multipurpose sports courts, which cover a total area of 4,224 Sqm.

The outdoor FIFA-standard natural grass football field covers an area of 8,970 Sqm, while both FIFA two-star artificial turf fields cover a total area of 17,940 Sqm. The new facility caters to individuals of all fitness levels by providing the most advanced sports equipment, and by employing expert coaches and trainers – ultimately, empowering athletes and sports enthusiasts to realize their health goals. ACTIVE is proud to host Manchester City’s Abu Dhabi program, City Football Schools, as well as the LaLiga Academy on its fields. Both programs help young players improve their football skills in a fun environment led by fully qualified coaches. In line with these programs and through ACTIVE, Al Maryah Island reinforces its commitment to promote the community’s health and wellbeing through engaging community experiences and activities.

Eight courts at ACTIVE further create a fitness zone to accommodate a vast range of sports.
