ADQ, an active sovereign investor driving growth and prosperity for Abu Dhabi, has inaugurated a newly refurbished basketball court at Khalifa University as part of its ongoing collaboration with the National Basketball Association (NBA).

The unveiling ceremony featured a ribbon-cutting by Prof Ebrahim Al Hajri, President of Khalifa University, Anas Albarguthi, Group Chief Operating Officer at ADQ, and David Watts, NBA Head of Middle East Strategy and Development.

Following the ceremony, student athletes from the university took to the court for a training session, trying out the new refurbished facility.

The new court underscores ADQ’s commitment to strengthening social infrastructure as a core pillar of long-term development, through investment in sports facilities that serve as shared spaces for connection, wellbeing, and inclusion.

The initiative in Abu Dhabi is the latest in expanding access to high-quality venues and encouraging participation in active lifestyles. These courts support physical health, social interaction, and cohesion, contributing to resilient and thriving societies across the Emirate.

Two more courts have been unveiled previously at Zayed Sports City and Capital Garden.
