On April 16, 2024, the United Arab Emirates was hit by an adverse weather condition that was
described as the heaviest rainfall that hit UAE in 75 years. Private and public institutions were
quick to respond including the Dubai Police, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), the
Dubai Municipality, the Dubai Civil Defence, the Dubai Health Authority, and the Dubai
Ambulance.

The Dubai Sports Council acknowledged these “first-line heroes” with a medal honoring their
hardwork and dedication during those trying times.

In a social media post on X (formerly twitter), Dubai Sports Council shared a video showing a

compilation of photos and videos of these “first-line heroes” in action.

At the end of the video, the Dubai Sports council wrote: “Their tremendous efforts have not
gone unnoticed, the Dubai Sports Council has decided to honor them by issuing a special

medal for their outstanding role. As a symbol of our gratitude, this medal will be distributed
in upcoming sports tournaments.”
