THE FINAA SPORTS HUB

The Finaa Sports Hub is a first-of-its-kind space in Aqaba, Jordan — a bold, intentional effort to empower girls through sport, movement, and mentorship. Rooted in traditional Arab architecture, the design draws on natural cooling systems like wind catchers and uses sustainable, energy-efficient materials to adapt to the desert climate.

More than a facility, Finaa feels like a backyard — a space for gathering, safety, and growth. Named after the Arabic word for “backyard,” this hub is designed to feel like home while serving over 5,000 youth with sport, STEM, and leadership programs that build power from the ground up.
