For the first time… Mother of the Nation Cup
Jiu-Jitsu belts and the Champion’s name inspired the masterpiece designed by the renowned Emirati Matar bin Lahej. The UAEJJF was keen to produce a unique Cup design, which was presented for the first time in this Championship. This mirrors the important status of the championship that prides itself for having the name of Her Highness Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak, Chairwoman of the General Women’s Union (GWU), President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, and Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation (FDF).
