Baseball United, the first professional baseball league focused on the Middle East and South Asia, have unveiled the Baseball United UAE Series, the league’s first event of 2025.
The three-game series will feature its two UAE-based franchises, the Arabia Wolves (Dubai) and the Mid East Falcons (Abu Dhabi), and will take place February 14-16 at Baseball United Ballpark at The Sevens Sports and Entertainment Complex in Dubai.
The UAE Series will mark the first time Baseball United’s franchises take the field, as well as the first time any professional baseball clubs compete in the Middle East.
The two franchises have rosters that include former Major League Baseball players, such as former New York Yankees stars Robinson Cano and Didi Gregorius playing for the Wolves, and former San Francisco Giants standouts Pablo Sandoval and Alejandro de Aza at the Falcons.
The UAE Series will mark the third marquee event hosted by Baseball United in Dubai, following the successful Baseball United Dubai All-Star Showcase in November 2023, and the recent Baseball United Arab Classic in November 2024. All UAE Series games will be hosted at Baseball United’s new Ballpark - the first professional baseball field in the history of the region.
Each team will also feature five prospects from the region playing at the professional level for the first time. The prospects were selected based on their performance at the Baseball United Arab Classic, as well as via Baseball United’s regional scouting program.
