DUBAI: Sheikh Saeed bin Maktoum bin Juma Al Maktoum, Chairman of the UAE Padel Association, crowned the winners of the local men’s and women’s padel tournament, which was held at the indoor padel hall at the Nad Al Sheba Sports Complex.

The tournament was the last segment of the sports activities of the 12th edition of the Nad Al Sheba Sports Tournament, the largest sporting event of its kind. Launched and sponsored by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence and Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council, the tournament is held annually during the holy month of Ramadan at the Nad Al Sheba Sports Complex.

The event has been held annually under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Sports Council with the slogan ‘Limitless Abilities’.

In the women’s category, the duo of Babette De Decker and Aisha Al Awadhi won first place, defeating Fatima Shahdour and Fatima Al Janahi. In the men’s category, the duo of Majed Al Janahi and Fares Al Janahi won the top spot defeating Rashid Waleed and Jassim Al Nuaimi.

In the under-18 youth category, the duo of Rashid Waleed and Saif Al Hammadi won first place, defeating Ahmed Al Mahri and Haider Ali.

Wheelchair Basketball title

The Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services team strolled their way with the Wheelchair Basketball title after easing their way to an emphatic 43-28 win over Dubai Municipality in the final held at the main hall at Nad Al Sheba Complex.

The winners were crowned by Majid Al Osaimi, President of the Asian Paralympic Committee and Board Member of the Dubai Sports Council; Hassan Al Mazrouei, Tournament Director; and Ali Omar Al Balushi, Director of the Sports Development Department at the Dubai Sports Council.

There was further good news for the Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services team with Jassim Ramadan Murad winning the Best Scorer Award for People of Determination, while Malallah won the Best Scorer Award for Non-People of Determination.

Third place for Al Ameed

Meanwhile, Al Ameed swept past Al Samawi 3-1 to clinch the third place in the volleyball competition.

Even though Nicolas Mendez (24) and Anton (20) were in full flow for Al Samawi, it was Al Ameed regrouping well with Luca Porro (18), Marko Sedlacek (17) and Veljko Masulovic (17) combining well for the Al Ameed cause.

Represented by the team from Padua, Italy, Al Ameed did not start on the best of terms as they lost the opening set 18-25. But they came roaring back and took the next three sets 32-30, 25-17 and 28-26 to help themselves to a consoling third place.

Running and Cycling Champions

The various winners of the cycling and running competitions were honoured at the end of the competitions.

Tournament Director Hassan Al Mazrouei was joined by Ali Omar Al Balushi and Nawaf Abdullah, Executive Vice President of Container Terminals, DP World - GCC, crowned the winners of the running and cycling races.

Sheikh Humaid bin Saud bin Rashid Al Mualla, Head of the Office of His Highness the Ruler of Umm Al Quwain, expressed his happiness at winning first place in the 5km race.

“I thank the organising committee for this wonderful organisation and excellent preparation for this world-class competition. The Nad Al Sheba Tournament is one of the best and largest sporting events, encompassing a variety of sports and attracting wide participation from various nationalities and ages. I am delighted to have won the 5km race. This was my second participation in this race, and I will be keen to participate next season as well,” Sheikh Humaid said.

Nawaf Abdullah, Executive Vice President, Container Terminals, DP World - GCC, said: “We are proud to be the Diamond Partner of the Nad Al Sheba Sports Tournament. No other event brings the UAE community together around sport during the holy month of Ramadan like this one. This year, we are also honoured to be the Principal Partner of the Nad Al Sheba Cycle Race, a 75km race held in Meydan. As the Principal Partner of the Dubai Cycle Race during the Dubai Fitness Challenge, this is perfectly aligned with our vision to promote health and fitness. We look forward to supporting the Nad Al Sheba Sports Tournament for many years to come.”

“Sports partnerships allow us to connect with our local communities and make a positive impact on society. At DP World, sport reflects the values of teamwork, passion and hard work that drive our business forward every day. We see tremendous value in supporting local sporting partnerships such as the Nad Al Sheba Sports Tournament, the Dubai Fitness Challenge and the Dubai Games. We also encourage our employees to participate, and five of our team members have participated in the obstacle course at the Nad Al Sheba Sports Tournament. Globally, we have partnerships in cricket, golf, sailing and Formula 1 that allow us to reach and inspire millions around the world. Many of these partnerships also allow us to showcase our leading capabilities in advanced logistics while transporting the equipment needed to make these world-class events possible,” Nawaf Abdullah added.
