Trosmic Sports announces Flux Halo, a landmark indoor arena in the GCC
While the final location remains under consideration within the GCC, Flux Halo is being positioned as a flagship venue to rival global icons such as London's O2 Arena and New York's Madison Square Garden.
With a target opening in mid-2030, Flux Halo is designed to accommodate up to 20,000 spectators within a fully configurable bowl, seamlessly shifting between football matches, basketball games, other sporting events, concerts, esports tournaments, and large-scale conventions.
'At the heart of Trosmic Sports and Flux Halo lies a daring belief: that sport is our universal language, and this arena will be its most eloquent expression,' said Bhardwaj, mentor and conceptual founder of Trosmic Sports.
'Here, every spotlight will illuminate not just athletic prowess, but the enduring human quest to push beyond the known,' he added.
The stadium will feature 200,000 m² of column-free interior space, capped by a 75,000 m² retractable tensile roof to allow events to proceed comfortably year-round.
Kotetsu Yamamoto, chief creative director of the project, describes Flux Halo's signature Möbius-inspired ribbon form as "an architectural embodiment of perpetual motion". Wrapped in a 50,000 m² programmable LED mesh, the exterior will double as a digital canvas for immersive light shows, branding campaigns, and real-time statistics. The architecture of Flux Halo is inspired by the crown of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war and the guardian of heroes across all sports.
'Flux Halo was never meant to be just a stadium,' said Yamamoto. 'It's a visual statement and a modular system that adapts to the evolving culture around it.'
George Kunihiro, director of Architecture and Planning, adds that 'solar-harvesting LEDs, AI-driven climate control, and rainwater-recycling systems will drive net-zero energy operations,' a benchmark few indoor arenas worldwide have achieved.
The announcement comes at a time when GCC nations are accelerating their efforts to diversify their economies beyond hydrocarbons, with billions being channelled into tourism, culture, and live entertainment events infrastructure. From Qatar's World Cup-ready venues and Abu Dhabi's Louvre and F1 Circuit to Saudi Arabia's emerging cultural calendar, the region is increasingly positioning itself as a global hub. Yet, few concepts rival Flux Halo in scale, flexibility, or technological ambition.
'This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to help shape the next great venue of our time,' said Vaibhav Sharma, chairman of Trosmic Sports.
'Flux Halo isn't just about entertainment; it's about regional pride, innovation, and creating something that leaves a legacy.'
Equity remains open to both regional and international investors. Ekta Nirmalkar, a Trosmic board director, notes that the venue's diversified revenue streams, from luxury suites and ticketing to retail and naming rights, are projected to generate robust and recurring returns across a 10-year horizon.
'With an anticipated 10 million visitors annually, Flux Halo is engineered for both cultural impact and commercial success,' she said.
The leadership team that brings the exceptional idea includes; Ankur Tandon, with over 15 years of experience in finance with American banks, with a focus on operational execution. His background in accounting, mergers, and global strategy brings practical oversight to the project's broader ambitions. Also, Rohit Kumar, director at Trosmic Sports, brings multi-sector leadership experience in institutional capital and cross-border business development. His role will focus on guiding long-term growth strategy for Flux Halo, with an emphasis on sustainable expansion and investor alignment.
To build momentum and finalise design elements, Yamamoto and Kunihiro will lead a Japanese delegation to the UAE from June 29 to July 7, holding private briefings and exploratory site visits in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh.
A regional sports infrastructure consultant commented: 'It's rare to see an indoor arena concept that combines such advanced sustainability with event versatility. If realised as planned, Flux Halo could reshape the live-events landscape in the Middle East.'
With its blend of cutting-edge design, immersive digital architecture, and future-focused financial strategy, Flux Halo is more than a venue. It's a vision of the GCC's next chapter, one built on ambition, innovation, and global resonance.

Oakley revives its ‘fearless spirit' to celebrate 50 year anniversary
This summer, the global eyewear brand Oakley has launched its limited edition Oakley Ellipse 50th Anniversary collection to honour the brand's legacy of disruption while simultaneously looking towards future with a refreshed vision. In conversation with Collin Allin, Oakley META's Sports Channel Manager & GCC BBM, Campaign Middle East dives into Oakley's regional brand strategy behind the anniversary campaign. 'Over the past five decades, Oakley has defined itself by challenging convention and pushing the boundaries of performance, design, and innovation,' Allin says. 'As we look to the next 50 years, we have revived that same fearless spirit with a recharged brand identity rooted in authenticity and evolution.' The brand's anniversary campaign has been designed to speak directly to the hybrid athlete: a consumer who lives at the intersection of performance, fashion, and street culture. These are individuals who might hit the track in the morning and the skatepark by afternoon. 'They seek self-expression, authenticity, and a product that performs as hard as they do,' Allin says. 'In the Middle East, this resonates with Gen Z, a rising generation of sport-loving youth and lifestyle trendsetters who demand both aesthetics and utility.' Furthermore, the campaign is also designed to reconnect with loyal Oakley purists who've followed the brand from its origins in elite sport. The strategy behind the Oakley Ellipse 50th Anniversary campaign In terms of reinventing the brand's identity Allin explains the anniversary campaign is not just a celebration of where the brand has been; it's a bold statement of where it's going. 'We're still engineered for athletes, but we're now speaking to a new generation: those who blur the lines between sport and culture, performance and expression. The brand DNA remains bold, disruptive by design and built with function in mind,' he explains. This strategy centers around community, storytelling, and experience. 'We activated a tiered release approach across retail, digital, and cultural spaces,' Allin says. In the Middle East, Oakley has partnered with regional running clubs, cycling collectives, and padel communities to 'co-create moments that live both online and on-ground,' Allin says. 'Our anniversary drops were supported with exclusive capsule showcases in key retail locations like Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emirates, paired with curated influencer seeding and targeted social amplification across META platforms.' 'We also launched the first-ever Oakley Community Club to deepen our connect with sporting communities in the region,' Allin adds. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Oakley Middle East (@oakleymiddleeast) Campaign roll-out Structured across a 12-month period, with key spikes in activity aligned to milestone product drops, the campaign includes seasonal launches, and community events. Additionally, the campaign runs across digital, retail, experiential, PR, influencer marketing, and media. 'Oakley's 50th is a movement and a milestone,' Allin says. Consumers first engaged through teaser reels and legacy stories on Instagram, followed by immersive pop-up retail spaces and on-ground activations like the Oakley Run Club Takeovers. Following this, regional influencers and athletes amplified the message through bespoke content drops. 'Every touchpoint – from a product swing tag to a geo-targeted digital ad – was unified by the 50th visual identity, with a focus on bold storytelling and community participation,' Allin explains. Localisation a key factor in Oakley's regional storytelling Furthermore, the brand tapped into localised content to highlight the technicality of Oakley's designs, with a nod to Middle Eastern style sensibilities. 'Localisation is not an afterthought; it's at the front and centre of our strategy,' Allin says, explaining that in the Middle East, Oakley's global brand energy was translated through the lens of regional relevance. Allin explains that: 'this includes bilingual campaign roll-outs, collaborations with local athletes and creators, and curated visuals that speak to the prevalent sport culture: referencing padel courts, desert trail runs, and high-performance training on rooftops.' The brand has also adapted global creative assets to reflect regional fashion nuances and climate-driven utility without compromising Oakley's technical storytelling. Actualising this strategy, Oakley has partnered with a handpicked group of Middle Eastern sport and lifestyle creators who 'embodied Oakley's 50th ethos – bold, unapologetic, and performance-led.' From Emirati triathletes to Saudi street cyclists and Dubai-based fitness creators, 'these collaborations were not so much about endorsement as they were about shared storytelling,' Allin explains. According to him, the creators' content brought the campaign to life in a culturally resonant way, 'extending our reach and authenticity, especially across Instagram and TikTok.' 'The impact was immediate; increasing engagement, expanding our audience base, and inspiring meaningful dialogue around sport and identity,' he adds. Results of the Oakley Ellipse 50th Anniversary campaign Oakley combined a scorecard of both hard and soft KPIs to measure the campaign's success. Performance metrics included reach, engagement rates, and sell-through of anniversary SKUs. Oakley also closely tracked footfall to retail experiences and online traffic spikes post-influencer activations. On the brand equity side, the team measured campaign recall, sentiment, and share of voice across owned and earned media. 'For Oakley, success isn't just sales; it is about reigniting cultural relevance and re-establishing community connection,' Allin said. 'Since launch, we've seen a 38 per cent increase in regional engagement across social, with video content from the anniversary campaign outperforming our initial benchmarks by 60 per cent,' he explains. 'Key anniversary SKUs sold out within weeks at flagship retailers, and the Oakley Middle East Run Club community grew by 400 per cent during the activation period.' 'On the softer side, sentiment tracking showed a marked shift – positioning Oakley as not just a sport brand, but a lifestyle icon re-entering the cultural conversation,' he adds, claiming that this signals long-term brand equity growth. All in all, Allin concludes with a note that Oakley is witnessing the return of brand love in markets it has reactivated through its Oakley Ellipse 50th Anniversary campaign.

Mobile Security: The blind spot in CISO agendas for 2025
We're living in an era where cybercrime costs the global economy USD 18 million every minute—adding up to a staggering $9.5 trillion annually, according to the World Economic Forum. In the Middle East, the average cost of a cybersecurity breach stands at USD 8.05 million, nearly double the global average. As the Gulf region doubles down on digital leadership, 77% of organizations in the GCC have increased their cybersecurity budgets in 2025, aiming to secure innovation amidst an increasingly complex threat landscape. Yet, in a recent report highlighting top CISO priorities for 2025, one critical consideration was noticeably absent: mobile security. The GCC is among the world's most advanced mobile-first markets. Over 95% of the population is online—compared to the global average of 63%—and rapid 5G deployment is accelerating mobile adoption at an unprecedented pace. The boom in e-commerce, fintech, and digital government services is driving mobile-first behaviors, particularly among the region's young, digitally native population. For enterprises, this mobile-first environment offers immense opportunity—and a growing risk. Mobile apps today serve as the primary interface for customers, employees, and operations—from field services to CRM. Looking ahead, mobile will evolve from a productivity tool into a fully integrated, AI-powered enterprise platform. In fact, enterprises are expected to triple their adoption of AIOps in 2025, leveraging mobile platforms for context-aware automation, real-time threat detection, and self-healing capabilities. As mobile becomes the default interface, we'll also see deeper integrations with edge computing, biometrics, and decentralized identity systems. The risks of a fragmented approach Despite its strategic importance, mobile security often remains fragmented. App development typically sits within product or business units, while security oversight is led by central IT teams. This can result in inconsistent standards, limited visibility, and competing priorities. Add to that the growing reliance on third-party SDKs, APIs, and open-source code, and enterprises face a landscape riddled with potential vulnerabilities. The consequences are no longer hypothetical. Industry research shows that 31% of zero-day exploits now target mobile platforms, and 20% of enterprise mobile devices have experienced network-based attacks. In the GCC, 42% of organizations have detected unauthorized mobile apps accessing internal data—often flying under the radar of security tools designed for desktop or web environments. Small and mid-sized businesses face an even steeper challenge. Many lack the resources to manage mobile threats proactively. According to Accenture's Cost of Cybercrime Study, 40% of SMBs experience eight or more hours of downtime after a mobile breach, yet only 14% feel adequately prepared. These are not just operational hiccups—they translate to lost revenue, reputational damage, regulatory fines, and in critical sectors like healthcare or banking, service disruption. Regulation is catching up Governments across the GCC are responding with increasingly robust regulatory frameworks. In the UAE, the country's Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) includes provisions that apply directly to mobile-based data collection and processing. Similarly, Saudi Arabia's National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) has outlined mobile-specific guidelines within its Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC), including secure configurations, access controls, and continuous monitoring. These frameworks mark an important shift prove that mobile is no longer viewed as a secondary channel; it is now treated as a core component of digital infrastructure, subject to the same expectations around data protection, availability, and accountability. For CISOs, this means mobile security can no longer be managed through piecemeal tools or occasional audits. It requires a lifecycle-based approach that includes secure development practices, continuous testing, runtime monitoring, and integrated compliance reporting. Building mobile resilience At Appknox, we've seen firsthand how organisations can elevate their mobile security posture with the right tools and mindset. Our platform is purpose-built for mobile environments, delivering real-time vulnerability detection, automated compliance checks, and continuous monitoring – without slowing down development cycles. By integrating into DevSecOps workflows, we help enterprises cut security testing time by up to 40% and reduce operational overhead by as much as 30%. But beyond tooling, what's most critical is a mindset shift. CISOs must expand their definition of core infrastructure to fully include mobile. That means evaluating mobile risk at the same level as network, cloud, and endpoint systems, and ensuring that security extends across the entire mobile ecosystem, from development to post-deployment. As the region's digital economy continues to evolve, mobile platforms will increasingly define customer experience, operational agility, and enterprise resilience. The organizations that lead in mobile security will not only reduce risk. They'll be best positioned to scale with confidence, comply with certainty, and innovate without hesitation. This Op-ed is authored by Harshit Agarwal, Managing Director and Co-founder, Appknox.
