During the years of his persistent work UAE Wrestling and Judo Federation has achieved several accomplishments through which it has proved that it has potentials and capabilities that enable it to establish distinguished Wrestling and Judo in UAE in which he has been able to take part in local, Arab and international tournaments and got advanced positions and international titles.

In this context, I can only express my thanks and appreciation to His Highness Sheikh Hazza Bin Zayed Al- Nahyan, National Security Advisor and Vice President of the Executive Council of Abu Dhabi Emirate for sponsoring the athletes, which in turn, has contributed in the growth of UAE sports. I also praise the support and efforts of His Highness Sheikh Tahanon Bin Zayed Al- Nahyan, the Honorary Chairman of the Club who has contributed in the growth of the game of Wrestling and Judo at all levels.

I would like to pay tribute to the place reached by the UAE through the UAE Wrestling and Judo Federation thanks to its policies and plans in the fields of training, preparation and organization of local tournaments at the individual and team levels, in all age groups and in different occasions in the country.

I would also like to praise international participations through organization of activities in UAE or through sending the teams representing the club which made us used to winning of advanced positions.

The spread of Wrestling and Judo in UAE with this manner attracting attention, together with the preparation of the current generation of champions and practitioners of this sport in addition to getting some international titles by some of them is in itself an indicator on the success of the UAEWJF in its mission and on the position occupied by UAE, currently referred to as one of the distinguished Wrestling and Judo Federation in the world.

I wish the family of the UAEWJF, including the players and training authority more success in order to promote the distinguished position achieved by the UAEWJF through constructive communication with Abu Dhabi Sports Council.
