Tickets for the opening event of SailGP’s 2024/2025 Season calendar, the Emirates Dubai Sail Grand Prix presented by P&O Marinas (November 23-24, 2024) are now on sale.
The event will see all 11 national teams, including the new Brazilian crew, compete for the very first time. The battles on the water will be intense, with all teams looking to get off to a flying start as they embark on the season ahead.
Racing in front of the iconic urban skyline - framed by the Burj Khalifa and some of the city’s most globally-recognized attractions - Dubai has played host to some of SailGP’s most memorable racing action in recent seasons, including the closest-ever finish in SailGP history in Season 4. The 2024 Emirates Dubai Sail Grand Prix presented by P&O Marinas will be no exception, offering fans an exhilarating, up-close view of SailGP’s high-tech, foiling F50 catamarans in action on the waters of P&O Marina’s world-class Mina Rashid.
For the first time, SailGP will also have a four-week long training camp for all 11 teams taking place around the season-opener - providing locals with plenty of opportunities to see teams out on the water before and after the Dubai event.
Fans can experience the event – supported by Dubai Sports Council and the Department of Economy and Tourism – through a variety of ticketing options promising spectacular stadium racing alongside true Dubai-style luxury hospitality. Additional information about hospitality, food and beverage and entertainment will be available soon.
Fans wanting to be part of the excitement are urged to act quickly to avoid missing out. Tickets are available for purchase at SailGP.com/Dubai.
Announced earlier this year, SailGP’s 2024/2025 Season calendar is the league’s most expansive to date, featuring new events in Brazil, Germany, Switzerland and Auckland, as well as a return to Great Britain.
With a confirmed 11 teams on the startline, the 2024/2025 Season will mark the SailGP debut of the Mubadala Brazil SailGP Team, who earlier this week named Olympic Gold medalist Martine Grael as its driver - the first female athlete to take this position in SailGP’s history.
Emirates GBR CEO Sir Ben Ainslie said : “We’re all really looking forward to returning to Dubai to kick-off the 2024/2025 Season. It’s our home-from-home event due to our partnership with Emirates and it always provides amazing racing in an iconic location. Last year we had fantastic support at the Dubai event and we’re hoping that will be even bigger and better this year.”
