“The ninth edition of the Awards takes on even greater significance as it is being held at the start of the Year of Zayed, a year dedicated to the ideals of our beloved founder, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. We are inspired by his vision in all our work and initiatives, striving to build a better future for our youth and sports.

“We recognize the extraordinary efforts and notable achievements of all the winners, which have elevated the level of competition. The winning local and international sports organizations have implemented programs and initiatives that align with the Awards’ noble objectives, particularly the main focus of the ninth edition – the empowerment of women in sports.”
