Mid East Falcons

The Mid East Falcons are a professional baseball team based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. They are one of four inaugural franchises of Baseball United, a professional baseball organization with teams based in the Middle East and South Asia.^[2]

Established as the Abu Dhabi Falcons, the team rebranded to its current name in March 2024, after Baseball United held its first "all-star" exhibition series.^[3] The Falcons debuted in Baseball United's UAE Series, an exhibition tournament held in February 2025; the team lost all three games in the series to the Arabia Wolves.^[4]

Two of the roster spots on the team's inaugural season were selected through a Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS) reality show called Tryout: Plan D. The two winning players will be officially unveiled as members of the Mid East Falcons before their game against the Karachi Monarchs on November 19, 2025.^[5] In its inaugural season, the team will also include two active players from the Yokohama DeNA BayStars organization of Nippon Professional Baseball, playing developmental winter ball in Dubai.^[6]

In 2025, the Falcons won the inaugural United Series championship. Second baseman Munenori Kawasaki was named the most valuable player of the series.
