Dubai is a winner all the way, Pritchard

Dubai: The historic cloning of the US-based IMG Academy (IMGA) is a historical milestone for the esteemed organisation that has produced some of the top world champions.

"We will create an IMG Academy here that will be a replica of what we have in the US. Only thing is this one will be better than the original," said Dr. Jamal Pritchard, Senior International Director of the IMGA.

"Dubai is a vibrant city, Dubai is an elegant city and there is a huge opportunity here. This infrastructure will provide a renaissance for sports in the region. I am convinced that in ten years' time we will be producing some of the top sports stars."
