Host a Dammam-Khobar tournament ground
North Dammam, Dhahran/Central and Khobar/South each need a confirmed venue. A venue stages a Pitch Round of 64 to 128 teams from 9 April to 9 May 2027. Owners of futsal courts or small pitches in the area can put their site forward as pitch owners.
What hosting involves in the Eastern Province
A venue in the Eastern Province hosts the matches of one ground. That means group games on three April weekends, then the playoffs and the ground's final on 9 May 2027. Every match takes a 40-minute slot, two 15-minute halves on a stop clock.
MCC brings the officials and crew through its own recruitment, and teams never appoint them. Beyond hosting the matches, nothing else is asked of the venue. Once an agreement is signed for a ground, the venue is named on the Dammam-Khobar city page.
Matching a venue to Dammam, Dhahran or Khobar
North Dammam covers the northern districts of Dammam and routes toward Qatif. Dhahran/Central covers Dhahran and the middle of the metro. Khobar/South covers Khobar, Thuqbah and the southern coastal districts. Every ground ends up with a single confirmed venue, named on this page.
Because the three towns run together, a site near a junction between two of them may fit either ground. Tell MCC the district and the nearest main road in your application and the team will place you against one of the three.
Applying as a Dammam-Khobar pitch owner
Start with the pitch owner application on this site. For every ground MCC confirms one venue, signs an agreement and only then announces the venue. The cards on the city page show which of the three grounds already have one.
Applications are open for all three grounds, and the Pitch Round begins on 9 April 2027. State the district your site is in and who can sign for the owner, so MCC can match you to North Dammam, Dhahran/Central or Khobar/South.
Questions from Dammam-Khobar venues
Can a compound or company sports ground host a ground?
Yes, if you control the pitches and can sign the venue agreement. Pitch owners of any kind can use the pitch owner application, so a company, a compound or a club qualifies.
What if my site fits two Dammam-Khobar grounds?
Say which district and main road the site is on when you apply. MCC confirms one venue per ground and places each application against the ground whose area it falls in, so a site between two grounds is matched to one.
Who supplies the teams and officials at a Dammam-Khobar venue?
Teams enter through MCC's Team License, and MCC schedules the matches. Officials and crew, a referee, two assistants and a fourth official, are recruited through the join page. The venue provides the ground for the 40-minute slots on the fixture dates.
