“VISITING THE MAGICAL EMIRATE OF DUBAI IS AN EXPERIENCE
OF A LIFETIME AND WE’RE GLAD TO SHARE IT WITH YOU.”

Welcome to the leading youth

international soccer tournament
in the magical Emirate of Dubai

The TTD Super Cup Dubai has brought together a spectacular list of team entries from all over the
world in 2018.

The tournament is a stage for teams from across the globe to come together and engage in a friendly
but competitive tournament and make new friends.

Where do you start to describe an Emirate that has it all? Known for its cosmopolitan lifestyle; Dubai is
one of the finest places on the planet to visit. You will find the largest dancing fountain in the world, in
front of the tallest building, next to the biggest shopping mall with the largest indoor aquarium; and these
are just some of the wonderful attractions in this magical Emirate. Not to forget the only 7* hotel in the
world or the indoor ski slope with penguins running around; all added to the magnificent architecture of
the buildings spread across the region or the local Emirate people who offer the warmest welcome to
travellers visiting their home of Dubai.

as a leading region to live and visit.

Almost every sport you can think of is played

in this Emirate, offering those hard working
locals and visitors alike plenty of activities to
enjoy.

We have to admit, it does not get much better

than operating the TTD International Super
