Sportswear manufacturer for UAE, Saudi, and GCC buyers
SAMPRO manufactures in Sialkot, Pakistan for GCC clubs, academies, gym brands, and distributors. There is no factory in the UAE or Saudi Arabia. The short sea lane from Karachi to Jebel Ali, Dammam, Doha, or Sohar — typically 3 to 7 days — is why this sourcing route works for season kits and replenishment.
Gulf programs commonly use lighter, more breathable fabrics and colourfastness suited to strong sun. Football kits and academy uniforms are the core ask; training wear and lifestyle pieces sit beside them when a retailer or club shop wants one factory. Arabic and English label artwork is applied on the sample so the client signs off physically.
What we manufacture for GCC programs
Minimum order is typically 50 to 100 pieces per style, per colourway. Staged call-offs against an agreed season volume are normal once the spec is locked. Bulk is 15 to 20 days from written sample approval. Air freight into Dubai or Riyadh is 1 to 3 days. Request a factory quote with destination port and kit list, or review customization.

Questions from Middle East buyers
Do you have a factory in the UAE or Saudi Arabia?
No. SAMPRO manufactures in Sialkot, Pakistan and supplies GCC clubs, gym brands, and distributors. The short sea lane from Karachi to Gulf ports is a large part of why Pakistan sourcing works well for this region.
How quickly can goods reach Jebel Ali or Dammam?
Ocean transit from Karachi to Jebel Ali, Dammam, Doha, or Sohar is typically 3 to 7 days, and air freight into Dubai or Riyadh is 1 to 3 days. With bulk production at 15 to 20 days from sample approval, total lead time to a Gulf warehouse is materially shorter than sourcing the same program from East Asia.
What is your MOQ for GCC programs?
Typically 50 to 100 pieces per style, per colourway. Club kit programs usually exceed that comfortably, and staged call-offs against an agreed season volume are a normal arrangement once the spec is locked.
Can you make football kits and academy uniforms for Gulf clubs?
Yes. Football kits, training wear, and multi-sport uniforms are core styles. Send crests, numbers, and colourways with the tech pack so decoration is approved on the sample.
Do you handle hot-climate fabric selection?
Yes. Gulf programs commonly move to lighter weaves, breathable constructions, and colourfastness suited to strong sun and frequent washing. Tell us whether garments are used outdoors or in air-conditioned gyms, because that changes the fabric recommendation.
Can you apply Arabic labelling and club branding?
Yes. Send the approved Arabic and English label artwork along with club crests and any sponsor marks. We apply labels, embroidery, and sublimation on the sample before bulk so the client can sign off physically.
