local sports talent across various disciplines.

Winners in each category will receive medals and recognition awards, and a selected group of
outstanding swimmers will be invited to join the Talent Development Sponsorship Programs under the

(UAETSS), designed by the ministry in cooperation with specialized entities to provide continuous
technical and training support for promising young athletes.
