Khalifa Al Falasi, who is 17 years old, is the first professional Emirati driver to compete in FIA’s global championship and he is also
the youngest driver in the competition’s history. He is supported and nominated by the Emirates Motorsports Organization (EMSO),
the official governing body for motorsports in the UAE.

He has an exceptional regional record of achievements, which includes securing first place nationally in the 2024 Emirates Drift
Championship during his professional debut season and winning third place in both the Red Bull Car Park Drift UAE and Red Bull
Car Park Drift Oman qualifiers (Middle East category). In 2025, he achieved second place nationally in the Emirates Drift
Championship (Professional category) and was recognised as the youngest professional drift driver in the Middle East.

The UAE Committee for Talent and National Sports Support continues to advance objectives through the Talent Committee Platform,
which was launched by the Ministry of Sports in June 2025. This platform tracks the progress of exceptional talents and athletes,
closely monitoring their achievements through latest digital tools for data analysis, technical assessment and growth indicators. This
approach helps constantly optimise training and support plans.
