Omar

Al Fadhli, who became the first Emirati to win a gold medal at the World Championship in Sweden, became the first UAE jiu-jitsu fighter ever to receive an individual sponsorship. Palms Sports, the technical arm of the UAE Jiu-Jitsu Federation, has provided him with a sponsorship contract which includes his university education, technical and financial support and complete coaching.

“The contract I just signed gives me the opportunity to concentrate in my jiu-jitsu full time,” said Al Fadhli. (Staff Report)
