Dubai Sports Council also confirms that the budgets announced for sports clubs for the year 2018, represents only the value of government support to the clubs and do not represent the full budgets of each club. The budgets are greater than the budgets announced by Dubai Sports Council, but the clubs should provide the required budgets needed to carry out programs & cover their expenditure that exceed the value of official government support budgets, by activating the investment side of the assets of the club and sponsorship contracts.
Dubai Sports Council affirms that this approach is the way for the clubs to adopt their own resources and activate the investment aspects.
