About Us

Odisha Cup Sports Association of UAE

The Odisha Cup Sports Association of UAE was founded in 2013 with a vision to create a platform where sports can bridge cultures, build friendships, and promote healthier lifestyles. What began as a cricket initiative has grown into a vibrant and inclusive sporting community that today stands as a proud symbol of unity among Odias and well-wishers of Odisha living in the UAE.

Our Journey

From its modest beginnings, the Odisha Cup has steadily expanded in scale and reputation. Over the years, we have not only organized competitive and entertaining tournaments but also built a space where passion for sports meets values of fraternity, fitness, and cultural bonding.

Each edition of the Odisha Cup has been marked by the enthusiastic participation of teams from diverse backgrounds, reflecting the power of sports to bring people together. Our tournaments are not just about cricket—they are about celebrating togetherness, teamwork, and the spirit of sportsmanship.
