DUBAI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 23rd Nov, 2020) Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority, DSOA, today announced the ground-breaking of an international standard tennis hub at the hi-tech park to be developed by Hubb Global Group, a comprehensive online search engine platform, with an investment exceeding AED100 million and spanning an area of 100,000 square feet.
Dr. Juma Al Matrooshi, Deputy CEO of DSOA, Anastasia El-Hage, Founder and CEO of Hubb Global Group, and Laith Alani, General Manager of Hubb Tennis Club, laid the foundation stone during the ground-breaking ceremony to mark the beginning of construction work on the project.

Speaking at the ceremony, Dr. Al Matrooshi, said, "DSOA is committed to offering its business partners a conducive environment that allows them to focus on growth locally and globally. Today’s announcement, which follows the recent opening of Hubb’s global headquarters at Dubai Silicon Oasis, is also a testament to our commitment to supporting business partners in their endeavours, and offering world-class facilities and lifestyle offerings to the DSO community and the wider emirate."
Anastasia El-Hage said, "We will aim to host annually more than 81 international and local tournaments at the new complex, as well as support athletes of all ages and levels in building their skills and performance."
