ROA Opens Sponsorship Opportunities for Inaugural Event

When you dream of creating something entirely new, it takes vision, persistence, and passion. For Imran Shah, the Founder and Director of Ring of Arabia (ROA), the mission is clear: to bring a first-of-its-kind sports entertainment experience to the Middle East.

Q: What inspired ROA?
“I’ve always believed the Middle East deserves a platform where sports and entertainment collide in a world-class way. Wrestling, strength, and music all have a deep cultural connection with audiences here. ROA brings them together in one spectacular event.”

Q: Why start in the UAE?
“The UAE is a global hub. It’s diverse, it’s bold, and it has the infrastructure to host international-level events. Launching here means setting the standard at the highest level.”

Q: What can fans expect?
“Energy, excitement, and history in the making. We’re not just putting on matches or performances. We’re creating moments that will stay with people forever.”
