The opening day of the 11th edition of the Dubai Corporate Games saw close to 3,000 participants swap their office desks for a team sport at the American University in Media City.

The two-day sporting spectacle allows team spirit to takeover and trophies are up for grabs for the winning teams competing in a number of sports, including football, basketball, tennis, volleyball, tug-of-war and health and fitness workshops.
