In this context, Ms. Fatima Al-Ali, FBMA representative commented:

"When we took the decision to organize the 3rd FBMA Archery tournament, one of the most popular sports in the UAE, we weren’t expecting to reach full capacity that quickly.

Individual sports contribute greatly to medal shares and achievements. We will continually assign specialized trainers, organize more tournaments and provide optimal competitive atmosphere for all ladies living in our beloved United Arab Emirates.
