Sharjah: The 7th edition of the Arab Women Sports Tournament (AWST) will take place from February 2 to 12, 2024, in the Emirate of Sharjah.
This prestigious event, organized by the Sharjah Women’s Sports Foundation, promises an unparalleled showcase of athleticism, camaraderie, and empowerment.
Eight adrenaline-pumping sports have been carefully selected, including volleyball, table tennis, basketball, shooting, archery, fencing, athletics, and karate, providing a platform for women’s sports clubs across the Arab world to compete at the highest level.
The Supreme Organizing Committee, chaired by Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed Al Qasimi, has pulled out all the stops to extend the registration deadline until December 31, responding to the overwhelming demand from clubs across the Arab world. This extension ensures that no club misses the chance to be part of this monumental sporting extravaganza.
Sharjah’s state-of-the-art sports arenas are ready to welcome fierce competitors from various Arab countries, creating an environment ripe for building connections and fostering communication on both individual and team levels. The committee underscores the continuous coordination and communication required among leaders in the Arab women’s sports sector for its sustained support and development.
It is a testament to the vision and directives of Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qassimi, Wife of His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah and Chairperson of the Sharjah Women’s Sports (SWS). This commitment is centered around supporting and developing the Arab women’s sports sector, symbolizing a culture of empowerment, and contributing significantly to the comprehensive socioeconomic development progress.
Sheikh Al Qasimi stated.
“This tournament transcends the realm of sports; it’s an ode to women’s achievements and an affirmation of their aspirations. Engaging in sports is a natural right for women in every society, aligning perfectly with Sharjah’s vision to build individuals physically and intellectually,” Sheikh Khalid Al Qasimi added.
