Reliable Source
Note that as of now (see timestamp) the only source is Wikimapia, which while freely licensed, is also a wiki and therefore not a reliable source. Crow  Caw 23:31, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm open to correction here (as always), but it seems to me that the content was copied, either directly or indirectly, from http://www.dubaisportscouncil.ae/en/DubaiSportsCouncil/pages/aboutus.aspx, which carries a clear copyright notice., I don't believe that wikimapia can licence content that it doesn't own, so I've removed the attribution notice you placed. Please let me know if I'm on the wrong track here. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:31, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
