Chelsea Football Club launch football-inspired residences in Dubai
The Chelsea Residences will be the first of its kind…
A new residence project coming up in the city? Nothing new. But football fans will love this upcoming residence project coming up in Dubai, which will see DAMAC Properties teaming up with Chelsea Football Club.
And yes, of course, it will be a football-themed branded real estate development. Here's what we know…
Located in Dubai Maritime City, Chelsea Residences by DAMAC comprises of six towers, and yes, each will be kitted out with Chelsea-branded amenities. In fact, according to the announcement, 'the Chelsea brand permeates every square foot of the property.'
Each tower will rise 130 metres high and will boast 1,400 sea-facing units offering views of the Arabian Sea.
The property will include wellness facilities, an outdoor rooftop football pitch, and an Aquarium Lounge in Chelsea blue. Residents will also be able to enjoy a game in the private cinema, train in the Chelsea Athlete Performance Centre, or relax in the Rain Therapy Room.
With a focus on health and fitness, the project will include a cryotherapy centre, forest relaxation pods, a kneipp parkour therapy path, a starlit wellness centre, and a yoga studio. And of course, we can expect an infinity pool, too.
Now you can't live in a football club inspired residence, and… not watch the matches. And at Chelsea Football Club, you can catch the games at a resort-style mancave where the games will be screened live. During the break, you can spend time with boxing, darts, and more.
Dining establishments as well take a 'wellness-first' approach with the residences offering Dubai's first healthy mono-diet café, a private chef's table experience, and the show-stopping Captain's Table—a resident-exclusive event series hosted by Chelsea F.C. legends. More to come…
DAMAC Properties is also the developer behind other luxury projects, including the luxury fashion house Cavalli. Cavalli Couture is the wow-worthy canal-front residential building where each of the residences is influenced by a tropical Amazonian rainforest.
Another skyscraper slowly rising is the Safa One and Safa Two in Al Safa. This futuristic-looking twin tower development promises exclusive living and luxury interiors by Swiss jewelry brand, de Grisogono. It will brag a floating infinity pool set between the two towers, complete with a diamond surface that sparkles at night.
DAMAC properties is also the mastermind behind Chic Tower in Business Bay. It is also branded by Swiss master jeweler de Grisogono, and has wellness in focus. The piece de resistance? An 180-metre-long lazy river, laced through the centre of the 30-story skyscraper.

Pina fires Spain past England into eves' Nations League semis
Super-sub Claudia Pina struck twice as Spain came from behind to beat England 2-1 on Tuesday in a heavyweight clash and reach the women's Nations League semi-finals. Sweden romped to a 6-1 win over Scandinavian rivals Denmark to progress to the final four, along with already-qualified France and Germany. World champions Spain won Group A3 by five points from Euro 2022 winners England, who could have progressed themselves with a victory at the RCDE Stadium on the outskirts of Barcelona. Alessia Russo stroked Sarina Wiegman's side ahead after 22 minutes but Pina's brace off the bench in the second half booked the holders' ticket to the final four in October. Spain and England will be the favourites to lift the Euros trophy this summer in Switzerland and after a narrow defeat at Wembley in February, Montse Tome's side flexed their muscles by outclassing the Lionesses. Pina did the damage with a cool first finish and then a blast from the edge of the box for her second. 'I received the ball (for the second) and I didn't even think about it, I hit it with my soul,' said Pina, who often shines off the bench for her club too. 'I always try to do my best, and I am ready, I'm happy to be able to help,' she added. Featuring seven Barcelona players, who finished as Champions League final runners-up last week, and one winner in Arsenal's Mariona Caldentey, Spain started the stronger. They almost took the lead after three minutes but Hannah Hampton made a superb reflex save to deny Esther Gonzalez from close range. The Chelsea goalkeeper was under the spotlight after Mary Earps' shock decision to retire from international football ahead of the Euros this summer and swiftly offered evidence of why she is England's number one.

Grebnev hangs on to slim lead despite draw
A draw was sufficient for Grandmaster (GM) Aleksey Grebnev to maintain his half-point lead after a catastrophic collapse by one of his closest pursuers in the eighth round of the 25th Dubai Open Chess Tournament at the Dubai Chess and Culture Club. Grebnev of Russia upped his score to 6.5 points after a relatively short, uneventful 21-move draw with Iran's GM Sina Movahed, one of two players who were just half a point behind the tournament leader. Grebnev's compatriot GM Ivan Zemlyanskii, the other player within striking distance of the lead, dropped out of the running for the championship after losing to Armenia's GM Shant Sargsyan. Movahed, Sargsyan, and Spain's GM Alan Pichot, who defeated IM Rohith Krishna S of India, closely trail Grebnev with six points each going into the final round. Playing the white pieces in an Italian Game, Sargsyan sacrificed a pawn that created room for his pieces to operate on both sides of the board. Looking for counterplay, Zemlyanskii decided to strike in the centre with a pawn break on the d-file, a flawed plan that allowed Sargsyan to win back the sacrificed material and enter the endgame with a strategically won position. Zemlyanskii stirred the game into complications in a bid to provoke errors and create practical chances, but despite a few imprecisions in technique, Sargsyan maintained control and converted with a tactical blow to finish the game. Grebnev will take on Sargsyan in Wednesday's final round, while Movahed faces Pichot, with all four players in the running for the title. In Category B, after six straight wins to start the tournament, Fide Master (FM) Mahdi Nikookar conceded a second consecutive draw, allowing India's Candidate Master (CM) Alankar Sawai Vandan to tie him for the lead. Nikookar drew his game with India's M. Mridav, while Vandan defeated Sri Lanka's Pesandu Rashmitha Liyanage. Both have seven points, a full point ahead of five others. Tournament format, schedule, prizes The tournament follows a 9-round Swiss system with a 90-minute time control plus a 30-second increment per move. Games are played every day from 5pm, except the final round on June 4, which starts at 10am. The tournament offers a prize pool of $52,000 to be handed out to the winners of both categories. Category A, contested by players with a rating over 2300, has a total prize fund of $39,500 with $12,000 going to the champion, while Category B, open to players rated below 2300, offers $12,500 in total prizes and $2,000 awarded to the champion. Special prizes will also be distributed to top performers among rating categories, unrated, youth, women, and UAE players. International arbiter team & live coverage International Arbiter Majed Al Abdooli of the UAE spearheads the tournament's international team of arbiters who will manage and oversee the competition. Chess fans from around the world can watch the Category A games live on the club's website as well as chess platforms such as and

Forward Delap joins Chelsea ahead of Club World Cup
Forward Liam Delap has joined Chelsea on a six-year contract ahead of this month's Club World Cup, leaving Ipswich Town after they were relegated from the Premier League, the West London side said on Wednesday. Media reports say Chelsea signed the 22-year-old in a deal worth $40.66 million. The Winchester-born former Manchester City player helps plug a forward shortage at Chelsea before the Club World Cup, with Nicolas Jackson, who scored 10 league goals this season, being the only prominent forward available. Attacking midfielder Cole Palmer led the club's scoring charts in the Premier League this season with 15 goals. Delap, who was shortlisted for the Young Player of the Year award, scored 12 goals in 37 league appearances for Ipswich this season as they finished 19th. "I understand the stature of this club and can see the trajectory it is on with these players and the head coach," Delap said in a Chelsea statement. "It's going to be an incredible place for me to develop, and I hope to achieve amazing things here and help the club win more trophies." Chelsea kick off their Club World Cup campaign against Club Leon on June 16.
