A Showcase for Homegrown Talent

The annual Mubadala Community Cup, presented by Healthpoint, shines the spotlight on the most talented amateur tennis players in the UAE

The Mubadala Community Cup (MCC), the region’s largest and most popular amateur tennis competition, made its comeback this year, giving tennis enthusiasts in the UAE an opportunity to enjoy exciting sporting action in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai over four weekends in November.

Presented by Healthpoint, a specialty health and wellness in the emirate and part of Mubadala’s network of health providers, MCC has been encouraging and supporting amateur players aged eight and above since 2009.

The 13th edition of the annual competition brought together more than 300 aspiring tennis players, who showcased their skills in a thrilling competition in six categories. These included 10s & under (Mixed); 12s & under (Mixed); 14s & under (Boys & Girls); Ladies Singles; Men’s Singles, and Adult Mixed Doubles. This year’s MCC followed the same format of previous editions, with the winners from Abu Dhabi and Dubai in certain categories competing during the championship.

Winners and runners-up of each of the championship’s 14 events as well as raffle winners from each category get to participate in a coaching clinic, with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play alongside the star players who’ll face-off in the finals of the 13th Mubadala World Tennis Championship (MWTC) at the International Tennis Centre, at Zayed Sports City. The players will spend time with the participants, giving them tips to fine-tune their skills.

Come and show your support for the upcoming players as they interact with MWTC players on Day 1 and 2 of the championship.
