⚽ Quoz Arts Fest
📍 Alserkal Avenue, Dubai
📅 January 25, 2026
We returned to Quoz Arts Fest for the second year, taking part in the 14th edition of Dubai’s landmark arts and community festival.
Last year marked our first appearance and very much reflected our humble beginnings, two pop-up tents, grid walls holding the space together, and merch displayed along the sides. The goal then was simple: show up, meet people, and introduce Banaat FC to the local creative community. This year, our presence looked different.
Our 2026 booth saw a major upgrade with the build of a full football goal replica that acted as our space for the weekend. The booth's structure immediately caught people's attention to stop and start conversations on who we are and what we do.
From freestyle tricks to impromptu 1v1s, the space gave off an energy that drew people in, with Maymi Asgari confidently taking on challengers throughout the day and consistently coming out on top.
The festival also served as the first public outing for our latest merch drop, including the Supporters Tee in black and grey and the Rise crewneck in grey. We also offered on-site name and number customisation on jerseys, pressed live by our players throughout the weekend.
So much more than just an opportunity to sell our merch, Quoz Arts Fest was our chance to connect with local artists, creatives, families, and members of the community. The conversations shared over the weekend helped us gain more supporters, spread the word about Banaat FC, and build meaningful connections with local community brands.
A special thank you to the Quoz Arts Fest team and Alserkal Avenue coordinators for sponsoring the Banaat FC space for a second year and providing the club with a platform to continue meaningful conversations around women’s football in the UAE. We hope to be back next year.
