The General Organisation for Youth and Sports (Goys), in co-ordination with the Ministry of Works and Housing, has awarded a BD12 million ($31.9 million) contract to Bahrain’s Al Dahrani Construction Company to build sports clubs in Riffa, Sitra, Juffair, Tashan, Budaiya and Hamad Town.

The contract is being formalised and the project is expected  to be launched in early May. The project is scheduled to complete in 12 months.
Each club will be built over an area of seven hectares of land. The common facilities in each club will include a multipurpose indoor sports hall, football pitch, running track, health club, swimming pool, tennis court, volleyball and basketball courts and seating gallery. Some of the clubs will have more than one sports hall.
The construction of the various clubs will be carried out in different phases according to the availability of land.
Ismail Khonji Associates and L&O Architects are the consultants for the project.
