Former Real Madrid defender Michel Salgado, now director of football at Dubai Sports City said: “This is an incredible environment to play sport.

“The Football Dome is such a good place, and then you have everything else in Sports Village around you. “When I was a professional footballer, I would have been impressed with this.
