Record Medals and Global Recognition Define UAE’s Sporting Success in 2025

 

The year 2025 marked a turning point for UAE sport, as the nation achieved its highest-ever level of global and continental success. From early regional triumphs to world-stage victories, Emirati athletes consistently delivered elite performances throughout the calendar year.

Mid-2025 proved especially significant, with the UAE posting historic medal tallies at Asian, Islamic, and GCC events, followed by standout performances in World Para Athletics, including gold medal wins. These results highlighted the country’s growing competitiveness at the highest international levels.

August 2025 saw the UAE shine at the World Games, reinforcing its international dominance in ju-jitsu, while late-year continental football titles marked a milestone for UAE-based clubs in Asian competitions.

Capped by sustained excellence in global cycling through UAE Team Emirates-XRG, 2025 stands as the most successful sporting year in UAE history, reflecting a nation firmly established on the world sporting map.
