At the heart of the race lies a vision centered on leadership and excellence in sports culture. The race's noble mission is to foster a stimulating sports-cultural environment while upholding social responsibility. It aims to realise the future ambitions of the Sharjah Sports Council by promoting the values of belonging, sustainability, cooperation, ethics, and social responsibility.
This ninth edition promises to be the most remarkable yet, with over 20 entities eagerly participating. Among them are prominent sports institutions and government organisations, including the Sharjah City for Humanitarian Services, Sharjah Youth, and the Sharjah Social Empowerment Foundation. Notable clubs such as Sharjah Club, Al-Hamriyah Club, and Al-Bataeh Club will also actively partake in this grand event. Around 200 are expected to participate to compete across various captivating competitions.
Participation is open to citizens of the United Arab Emirates, including children of female citizens, individuals born in the country, and passport holders who were born in 2006 or later. However, individuals with disabilities are exempt from the age requirement. Furthermore, each sports institution and relevant local community in the emirate should contribute three participants in each competition, except for the theatre competition.
From his side, Mr. Eisa Hilal Alhazami , President of Sharjah Sports Council, affirmed that the current edition of the race aims to strengthen important values such as belonging, sustainability, cooperation, ethics, and social responsibility. The race will consist of ten competitions, including Quran memorisation, painting, drawing, Arabic calligraphy, journalistic articles, short stories, sports commentary, digital content creation, theatrical performances, and general cultural competitions.
According to the timetable, registration for participation will be open from July 1st until the beginning of August. Afterward, participants will submit their works in the various categories by the 20th of the same month. Evaluation committees will then assess the entries and announce the winners, who will be celebrated and honoured at the closing ceremony in September. This race presents a remarkable opportunity for the youth of Sharjah to shine in culture and sports.
These cultural activities are considered the primary events organised regularly by the cultural and sports community in the emirate. This commitment led to Sharjah's well-deserved victory in the inaugural edition of the Arab Union for Cultural and Sports Award in 2022, establishing it as an exemplary city for others to follow.
