Yas Island’s open-air venue will now be known as Etihad Park. The area was formerly known as du Arena.
The renaming of the area is a part of a partnership deal between Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates and Flash Entertainment, the region’s leading entertainment company.
The open-air area will add to the opportunities of hosting family and culinary events as well as large scale concerts with global superstars.
The venue will add the existing roster in Etihad's sponsored entertainment hubs with Etihad Arena being announced earlier on in the year.
Etihad Arena is located near a waterfall in Yas Island and is situated close to Etihad Park.
Tony Douglas, Group Chief Executive Officer, Etihad Aviation Group said, “Expanding our portfolio of Abu Dhabi partners to further promote Yas Island as a leisure destination is an honour. Etihad Park is a testament to our commitment to positioning the UAE capital as a world-class entertainment hub and marries well with our existing sponsorship of Etihad Arena and the Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix. Following government safety guidelines in response to the pandemic, we look forward to jointly announcing with Flash Entertainment, an exciting calendar of events.”
