Dr Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, personally sketched the designs, which includes a central square development which will be strategically connected by four major roads: Al-Badayer Road, Al-Bataeh Road, Al-Madam Road, and Sharjah Sports City Road.

At the core of the Sports City will be a grandstand, which has also received approval from Sheikh Sultan. This central feature will serve as the nucleus of the complex, surrounded by four state-of-the-art sports complexes designed to accommodate a variety of sports activities, both team-based and individual.

According to Sharjah Department of Public Works, the design of the sports city’s stands is distinguished by its imitation of the shape of a falcon flying over the sand dunes.

The three sand dunes are shaded by the wings and body of the falcon, which symbolises the attributes of an athlete, akin to the bird's penetrating gaze, physical strength and speed.

In addition to the Sports City, the Ruler also highlighted ongoing efforts to develop and expand the emirate's sports clubs.
