Fifty two matches have been scheduled and these will be played out over the three weeks of the tournament.

Stay at a Deira hotel Dubai which offers well placed accommodation and great services too. One such option worth considering is Copthorne Hotel Dubai which provides an ideal base for your travels and lets you experience and enjoy the very best this enchanting region has to offer.
