Home Away Sports Festival
Home Away Sports Festival
In February 2025, Home Away hosted its inaugural ‘Home Away’ Sports Festival at InSportz Dubai in collaboration with the SmartLife Foundation. The festival was able to gather many enthusiastic blue-collar workers for a day dedicated to sports and connection.
This included a cricket tournament for men and a badminton tournament for women which were supplemented by more fun, short, carnival-style games as well!
The overall event was a tremendous success – fostering connections and providing participants with a much-needed day of enjoyment and camaraderie.
