Sport Booking
Ice rinks, padel courts, five-a-side pitches, golf tee times. We know every events manager from Abu Dhabi to Fujairah — and, crucially, which ones call back.

Sport management from another galaxy
SPACEGGZ is a private sport management company based in Dubai. We book events and build tournaments across the Middle East — so you can focus on the fun part: winning, then telling everyone about it.
* All business conducted on Earth (for now). Attitude imported from orbit.

Mission briefing · 01
Two brothers.
One orbit.
SPACEGGZ was founded in 2020 by brothers Alexander and Ivan Pashigin — two humans convinced that great sport experiences shouldn't require negotiating with seven different WhatsApp groups and a fax machine. Today the mothership is parked in Dubai.
We are an outsourced sport management firm: sport event management and everything in between, delivered across the Middle East with the precision of a rocket launch and the sense of humour of a locker room.
- Outsourced sport management for the Middle East — one call, zero group-chat chaos.
- We speak fluent manager, coach, sponsor and “the bus is 10 minutes away” (it is not).
- HQ in Dubai. Missions across the UAE and the wider Gulf.
- First contact (founding year)

True stories* from the flight deck
*Names changed to protect the guilty. Events 94% dramatized. The scoreboard never lies, unlike our PR department.
LOG 001 · Stardate 2025.02
The Board Meeting
Quarterly strategy session. One director suggested we “agree to disagree.” The disagreement is still being litigated by the boards department. Motion carried — literally, into the glass. Refreshments were served.
Minutes: unsigned. Grudge: eternal.
LOG 002 · Stardate 2025.04
Coach Has Notes
Coach presented the quarterly OKRs to the squad: play hard, die young, baby face no more, dominate. HR asked us to clarify “die young.” We clarified: it means hydrate. Morale has never been higher. Hydration either.
Whiteboard preserved in HQ lobby.
LOG 003 · Stardate 2025.06
The Alliance
Annual summit with our fiercest rival ended in a handshake, a cigar and one (1) symbolic black eye. Zero minutes recorded, one binding partnership formed. The apple juice was ceremonial. The respect was mutual. The rematch is scheduled.
Treaty status: active. Egos: bruised.
LOG 004 · Stardate 2025.08
Sector 7 Reports Contact
Our new goalie describes himself as “mostly cactus, professionally.” Saves everything except compliments. Clean sheets: yes. Small talk: absolutely not. Opponents now shoot politely and apologize afterwards.
Glove hand: registered weapon.
LOG 005 · Stardate 2025.11
The Debrief
Post-season debrief at HQ lounge. Menu: Asteroid Apple Juice, Galaxy Ginger Ale, Nebula Lemonade, Martian Mint Tea, Black Hole Milkshake. Client left satisfied. The waitress was outstanding. The DJ alien? Unreasonably good. Expenses approved by everyone, eventually.
Black Hole Milkshake count: [REDACTED].

Founders of the operation
Two brothers based in Dubai who looked at sport management in the Middle East and said: “we can do this — with better snacks.”
A
Alexander Pashigin
Co-Founder · Chief Flight Director
Negotiates venue contracts like a face-off specialist: calm face, iron grip, sudden explosion of speed. Undefeated in overtime. Allegedly once settled a dispute with a single raised eyebrow.
A decade of sport operations across the Gulf and a contact list that answers on the first ring.
Contract negotiation
Padel backhand
Patience for excuses
I
Ivan Pashigin
Co-Founder · Head of Mission Control
Runs tournaments the way NASA runs launches: checklists, countdowns, zero accepted failures. His spreadsheets have their own gravitational pull. His chess trash talk is legally classified.
Built tournament pipelines for clubs, corporates and federations — on time, on budget, on record.

Chess trash talk
Sleep schedule
Between them: 14 whistles, one very serious Gulf-wide contact list, and a shared calendar that has never — not once — said “let’s postpone.”

“They booked us a rink in 40°C heat. In August. The ice was perfect, our captain cried, and not from the heat.”

SIGNAL 02
“Our corporate padel league has a waiting list longer than the IT ticket queue. HR calls it “retention strategy”.”
A Very Serious Bank

SIGNAL 03
“Flights, hotel, bus, visas — sorted before I finished my karak. We arrived as a team, not as a luggage claim.”
Coach R. Al-Mansouri

SIGNAL 04
“The tournament ran so on schedule that our sponsor asked if the clock was broken. It was not. It was SPACEGGZ.”
Nebula Padel Cup
Tournament · Abu Dhabi
SIGNAL 05
“I asked for a “small esports night”. They built an arena, hired casters and gave me a trophy I cannot fit in my flat.”

SIGNAL 06
“Our athlete’s contract had a clause about “emotional support llamas”. SPACEGGZ caught it. There are no llamas.”

Frequently asked questions
Everything humans usually ask before joining the program. Something missing? Open a channel below — a real person answers, occasionally before noon.
Average response time: under 24 Earth hours. Meteor showers may cause delays.
Our offices are firmly on Earth — Dubai, to be precise. Our standards, turnaround times and afterparty stamina originate from considerably further out. The UFO in the logo is aspirational, not a company vehicle. Yet.
Ice hockey, football, padel, tennis, golf, chess, esports, MMA and beyond. If it involves keeping score, we can manage it. If it involves keeping score in space, we are legally required to say “not yet.”
Headquartered in Dubai, with missions across the UAE and the wider Middle East. Mars is pending regulatory approval and slightly better coffee.
Yes — from an 8-person padel social to a 500-player corporate tournament. The bigger the payload, the louder the launch. You bring the people; we bring everything else, including medals and dignity recovery.
Because “Sport Management Company” lacked a UFO. Also because we take sport deadly seriously — just not ourselves. The G’s are silent. Kidding. Nothing about us is silent.
