The Desert Vipers are pleased to announce Ellington Properties, one of Dubai’s leading design-led real estate developers, as their back-of-shirt sponsor for a period of one year.
The award-winning Ellington Properties was founded in 2014 in Dubai, and this partnership underlines the Desert Vipers’ commitment to engage with local businesses in the UAE.
Under this agreement, players will feature the Ellington Properties logo on the back of their matchday and training shirts.
The commercial partnership between the Desert Vipers and Ellington Properties represents the coming together of two exciting domains, that of real estate and sport.
Desert Vipers and Ellington Properties are active in the local community, providing top-quality expertise in their respective areas of operation.
The Desert Vipers’ Schools Programme reached over 10,000 students over the past year, and their recently launched Talent Pathway Programme was created to identify and develop local talent with a focus on high-performance.
Winner of multiple awards across its residential portfolio, Ellington Properties has shaped Dubai’s living experience since 2014 through design-led development anchored in quality, detail, and architectural integrity. From high-rise residences to thoughtfully planned communities, Ellington continues to create spaces that reflect how people want to live today, with greater intention, comfort, and long-term value.
The partnership with the Desert Vipers reflects Ellington’s belief in backing platforms that inspire ambition, discipline, and community pride. By supporting one of the UAE’s most dynamic sporting franchises, Ellington contributes to the continued growth of cricket locally, while helping create broader engagement opportunities for fans and future talent.
This collaboration brings together two brands committed to performance, progress, and community impact, united by a shared drive to elevate experiences in the UAE, on and off the field.
The Desert Vipers CEO Phil Oliver welcomed the new partner and said: “We are thrilled to have Ellington Properties as our back-of-shirt sponsor,” he said. “As a sports team located in the UAE, we aim to work with local businesses that align with our values and commitment to excellence. Ellington Properties is an ideal partner.
“They are a leading real estate developer in the UAE, and we look forward to the many opportunities this partnership will bring as we continue to establish ourselves here.”
Joseph Thomas, Co-Founder of Ellington Properties, said: “Great design and great sport have something important in common – both are built on discipline, detail, and the belief that consistency creates excellence. Our partnership with the Desert Vipers reflects our commitment to supporting initiatives that energise communities and inspire the next generation. As a UAE-grown company, we are proud to stand behind a team that represents ambition, high performance, and local momentum.”
