For the past year on my way to The Avenues I’ve been passing this large rust colored warehouse located on the main road. I didn’t know what the building housed, I knew it had something to do with sports because of the large neons covering the building but I couldn’t tell what was inside since the building looked like it was still under construction. Then last week I found out the place was an indoor football arena and that they had actually been open for a few months now but still look like they’re under construction because of the empty shops facing the main road. So I passed by to check it out.
The large building houses three indoor football fields and has air conditioning which means no matter how hot or cold it is outside, you could play football anytime of the year. MAS also have showers and locker rooms in case you want to change before heading out which is something I haven’t seen at other football fields. Price wise they’re much more expensive than the outdoor fields, an hour of indoor football is going to cost you KD45. If you’re interested you can book a field by calling 66148079 or 22230096. They’re open from 9AM to 10PM and here is their location on [Google Maps
Update: The official opening is next month

I thought I typed nickleodeon.com or cartonnetwork.com instead of mark248am1.wpenginepowered.com today
lol i just got it
because you frequent those sites regularly.. ?
Are you blind? Don’t you see barney all over the place?
I do. I was referring to you checking out nickelodeon.com .. ah, never mind. Some people brain’s are too slow to register a joke.
Is it owned by Goal Junior because the business concept is around the same if not identical?
You can book governmental schools football pitches online for 2 kd per hour.

But I advise you to see the actual pitch before booking. Some are new others are too old.
Hmmm… Strange business model. 45KD x 3 fields.
It’s like around 20,000KD income monthly, which is not bad, but owner can easily rent huge building like this in Al-rai for same price monthly. Now he has to pay for salaries, maintenance and all other expenses instead of getting rent easily without much headache.
if he owns the place he’s paying less than 20k per year to the government + he probably rented some shops to have some income. It’s a huge building and only the shops on the street can be rented at a high price. the space inbetween is cheap.
We tried to do something similar in al rai and shuwaikh, the baladiya refused to give us a license because al rai and shuwaikh are industrial cities and a football pitch isn’t considered an industrial activity.
He probably has a big wasta , or has it registered as a warehouse.
