How can I fetch data from this array? Here there is an array which contains some key value pairs, and some keys contain an array of dictionary.

 var dataArray = [
                ["teamName":"Arsenal",
                  "image":"imageName",
                  "nextMatch":"in 2 days",
                  "matches":[
                                ["oppositeTeam":"teamName",
                                 "matchTimings":"121212",
                                 "matchId":"ID 213432"],
                                ["oppositeTeam":"teamName",
                                 "matchTimings":"121212",
                                 "matchId":"ID 213432"]
                            ],
                  "fixtures":[
                                ["oppositeTeam":"teamName",
                                 "oppositeTeamScore":"7",
                                 "HomeTeamScore":"4",
                                 "HomeTeamCards":"True",
                                 "oppositeTeamCards":"false",
                                 "fixturesId":"ID 213432"],

                            ]
    ],["teamName":"Chelsea",
        "image":"imageName",
       "nextMatch":"in 2 days",
       "matches":[["oppositeTeam":"teamName",
                   "matchTimings":"121212",
                   "matchId":"ID 213432"],["oppositeTeam":"teamName",
                                           "matchTimings":"121212",
                                           "matchId":"ID 213432"]
        ],"fixtures":[["oppositeTeam":"teamName",
                       "oppositeTeamScore":"7",
                       "HomeTeamScore":"4",
                       "HomeTeamCards":"True",
                       "oppositeTeamCards":"false",
                       "fixturesId":"ID 213432"],["oppositeTeam":"teamName",
                                                  "oppositeTeamScore":"7",
                                                  "HomeTeamScore":"4",
                                                  "HomeTeamCards":"True",
                                                  "oppositeTeamCards":"false",
                                                  "fixturesId":"ID 213432"]
        ]
    ],["teamName":"India",
        "image":"imageName",
       "nextMatch":"null",
       "matches":[],
       "fixtures":[]
    ]]

I tried but I was unable to fetch data from this array.

You need to use a Model like this 

struct Team {
    let teamName:String
    let image:String
    let nextMatch:String
    let matches:[Match]?
    let fixtures:[Fixture]?
}

struct Match {
    let oppositeTeam:String
    let matchTimings:String
    let matchId:String
}

struct Fixture {
    let oppositeTeam:String
    let oppositeTeamScore:String
    let HomeTeamScore:String
    let HomeTeamCards:String
    let oppositeTeamCards:String
    let fixturesId:String
}

Next you need to learn about Codeable in swift for which I have attached an article below

Here is how you can access the arrays/dictionaries defined in your dataArray:

    // To access team object at zero index
    if let team = dataArray[0] as? [String: Any] {
        print("Team: \(team["teamName"])")

        // To access matches array of team object at zero index
        if let matches = team["matches"] as? [[String: Any]] {
            print( matches)

            // To access first match
            if let match = matches.first {
                print(match)
            }
        }

        // Similar to matches access fixtures
        if let fixtures = dataArray[0]["fixtures"] as? [[String: Any]] {
            print(fixtures)

            // To access first fixture
            if let fixture = fixtures.first {
                print(fixture)
            }
        }
    }

This is ok if you are just prototyping. If you plan to extend this into an actual app creating separate models is the best approach.

You can have a Team model that can contain team name, image and matches and fixtures. For matches you can create a model with matche information in it. Similarly you can create a model for fixtures as well. Your Team class will then contain arrays of Match and Fixture classes like this:

var matches: [Match]
var fixtures: [Fixture]

and your dataArray will be of type 

var dataArray: [Team]
user_10130790
user_48292710

You can fetch data from your Array like this:

for attributesObj in dataArray{
      let dicFrmArray = attributesObj as! NSDictionary

       if ((dicFrmArray["teamName"] as? NSNull) == nil && dicFrmArray["teamName"] != nil){
     print(dicFrmArray[teamName"])

       }
}
