The Dubai Sports Council (DSC) is making sports events insurance [4] compulsory in the United Arab Emirates. This decision will be effective as of 1 September 2022.
The aim is to improve the level of organization of sporting events and to increase the number of participants.
The insurance policy must meet certain requirements, namely:
- it must be issued by a licensed insurance company or an insurer which has a branch in the UAE
- it must be issued in the name of the organizer of the sporting event and its coverage must be limited to the specific event
- it must cover all the venues where the event is held
- it must be effective starting from the date of the beginning of the preparations
Finally, the organizers must inform the participants of the content of the insurance contract.
