Commenting on these achievements, Her Highness said: "Women's Sports achieve a significant leap in Sharjah, where clubs promote a vibrant culture and sports institutional regulations guide activities of clubs to bring out the full potential of sportswomen. Such achievements can only happen when backed by proper funding and strategies for building successive generations of high-performing athletes.
“We have witnessed an unprecedented season with our champions bringing 335 medals home. What we have achieved so far in women's sports in the UAE is just one milestone in an ongoing journey, which we in Sharjah are focusing on in the women's sports sector.
"We encourage more support and sponsorship from local institutions and expect more engagement from society. We envision Arab female athletes qualifying in all international sports arenas.”
