PAD Sports Arena is a facility in which seven sports can be played namely cricket, football, hockey, lawn tennis, among many others. Recently, martial arts and taekwondo classes are also given at the venue. Pakistan Association Dubai is the spirit and palpitation of many Pakistanis; a reality to their dreams, a stature of hope and a body of pride. Pakistanis in the UAE, who have come all over from the deserts of Mehran, the skirting hills of Bolan, the agricultural beauties of Punjab, the cascades of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the heavenly spectacle of Kashmir, are all united under one slogan: "We are Pakistanis-We are One."
Pakistan Association Dubai is highly grateful to the Government of UAE that has given the opportunity to keep its national spirits alive through this platform.
