Yes! My Mother was On A softball team, They had tournaments where women from all over including Saudi would go To Dubai to play League Tournaments. I'm sure they will have Football as well, I know they have rugby teams and Hockey teams.
Good Luck, and enjoy yourself there!!
Dubai is a wonderful country, if not Just a Little too Hot for my liking!!
BTW. Women are extremely free there. You can wear what you want but might want to be a little conservative just out of Respect. Women do all the same things as men there....It is a very free open country...
