Now let’s talk about why this tournament is worth your attention—and why it might just be the highlight of your company’s calendar this year.
What Is the Power 90 Real Estate Cricket Tournament?
The real estate industry in the UAE is fast-paced, competitive, and, let’s be honest, a little intense. Deals close under pressure, targets get chased every quarter, and teams rarely get a chance to just… breathe. That’s exactly the gap the Power 90 Real Estate Cricket Tournament is stepping in to fill.
Instead of another networking dinner or awards night, this is a real, physical, on-the-field cricket tournament designed specifically for people working in real estate. Agents, brokers, developers, and property consultants swap their business cards for cricket bats and take their rivalries onto the pitch instead of the boardroom.
It’s competitive. It’s fun. And it’s a genuinely fresh way to build relationships across the industry—the kind that don’t happen over a PowerPoint presentation.
Why Karwan Sports Club, Ajman Is the Perfect Host Venue
Every good tournament needs a great home ground, and this one has found it. The Power 90 Real Estate Cricket Tournament is being hosted at Karwan Sports Club, one of the most well-regarded sporting facilities in Ajman.
Karwan Sports Club has built a reputation for hosting community and corporate sporting events with proper infrastructure — the kind of place where a tournament actually feels like a tournament, not just a casual knockabout in a park. If you want to see what makes the venue such a strong fit for a proper cricket championship, it’s worth browsing their cricket grounds facilities, which are set up to handle serious matches with proper pitches, boundaries, and spectator space.
And for anyone based in the emirate or planning to travel in for the tournament, it helps to know a bit more about Karwan Sports Club in Ajman itself — its location, accessibility, and the broader sporting community it serves. It’s not just a ground; it’s become something of a hub for Ajman’s growing sports scene.
Tournament Dates and Format
Mark your calendars, because the window for this one is fairly tight:
- Dates: 25 September – 10 October 2026
- Venue: Karwan Sports Club, Ajman
- Teams: Only 8 elite teams
- Entry Fee: AED 15,000 per team
- Prize: AED 35,000 + Champions Trophy
Sixteen days, eight teams, one champion. That’s the shape of it. It’s short enough to keep the intensity high but long enough to let a proper tournament narrative unfold — group stages, knockouts, and finally a final that everyone will be talking about at their next site visit or property launch.
Why Only 8 Teams? The Case for Exclusivity
You might be wondering why the organizers capped this at just 8 teams instead of opening it up to dozens. Honestly, it’s a smart move. Keeping the field small means:
- Every match actually matters — no filler games.
- The standard of competition stays high, since only serious, committed teams sign up.
- Logistics stay manageable for both the organizers and Karwan Sports Club.
- The overall experience feels premium rather than diluted.
This is part of what makes the Power 90 Real Estate Cricket Tournament worth the AED 15,000 entry fee. You’re not paying to be one of fifty forgettable entries — you’re securing a spot among a curated group of the real estate sector’s most competitive teams.
Who Should Be Signing Up?
This tournament is built for real estate companies, brokerages, and developers who want to do more than just show up to industry events — they want to compete, bond, and be seen as part of something bigger. If your company has a group of employees who play cricket casually, weekends, WhatsApp groups, the occasional office match — this is the moment to turn that into something official.
It’s also a genuinely useful team-building exercise. Anyone who’s managed a sales team knows that a shared win (or even a shared loss) on a cricket pitch builds camaraderie that no corporate workshop can replicate. Employees remember the six someone hit in the last over far longer than they remember a slide deck.
The Prize: More Than Just Money
AED 35,000 and a Champions Trophy is a serious incentive, no doubt. But if you ask anyone who has actually played in company tournaments like this, the real prize usually isn’t the cash. It’s the bragging rights. It’s the trophy sitting in the office reception for the next twelve months. It’s the story that gets told in every meeting for the rest of the year about “that time we won the Power 90 Cricket Tournament.”
That said, AED 35,000 is nothing to scoff at either, and for a company fielding a strong team, it’s a genuine return on the AED 15,000 entry investment — assuming, of course, you bring your A-game.

Given how quickly these things tend to fill up in the real estate community — where everyone knows everyone — I’d recommend not sitting on this decision too long.
What to Expect on Match Days
If you’ve never experienced a corporate cricket tournament before, here’s a rough idea of what match days typically look like. Expect a proper competitive atmosphere: teams in matching jerseys, colleagues turning up to support and cheer, a bit of friendly trash talk between rival real estate firms, and matches that are taken far more seriously than anyone expected going in.
Karwan Sports Club’s setup should make this an easy, enjoyable experience logistically — proper grounds, adequate space for spectators, and a professional environment that matches the ambition of the tournament itself.
Building Industry Relationships On the Pitch
One thing that often gets overlooked about tournaments like this is the networking value that happens almost by accident. You end up chatting with a competitor’s team between overs, discussing market trends during a drinks break, or trading numbers with someone from a company you’d never normally get face time with. It’s informal, it’s low-pressure, and it tends to lead to genuine professional relationships — the kind that a formal industry conference rarely produces.
For a sector as relationship-driven as real estate, that alone might be reason enough to get your team involved.
A Few Practical Tips If You’re Registering a Team
- Get your squad sorted early. You’ll want a mix of genuine cricket players, not just enthusiastic volunteers, if you’re serious about competing for that trophy.
- Practice together before the tournament starts. Even a couple of casual net sessions can make a real difference in team chemistry.
- Treat it as a company event, not just a side activity. Consider inviting other staff, clients, or partners to come support on match days — it doubles as a brand visibility opportunity.
- Confirm logistics with Karwan Sports Club ahead of time regarding parking, timing, and any facilities you might need on the day.
