Sharjah's government has announced the development of a $177m Sports City which will cover an area of four square kilometres, reported Gulf News. Construction work will begin in April next year and will be completed in three phases by 2009. It is hoped that city will eventually host a range of international sporting events.
The Sharjah Cricket Association Stadium has hosted almost 200 cricket One Day Internationals, more than any other ground, and 4 Test matches.

Since 2003, the increasingly crowded cricket calendar has precluded the holding of any major international matches at Sharjah although the stadium has been the venue for certain other matches, such as the 2004 ICC Intercontinental Cup. The use of the venue has declined as the new 20,000 seat Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi has become the preferred venue for cricket in the UAE.
