The UAE showcased their golfing prowess with a commendable bronze-medal finish at the 2025 Pan Arab Men’s and Senior’s Championship, held at Riyadh Golf Club in Saudi Arabia. The event, which marked the 50th anniversary of the Arab Golf Federation (AGF), saw Morocco clinch the Men’s Division title and Bahrain triumph in the Seniors category. A record-breaking 93 players from 13 nations competed in the Men’s Division, while 10 nations participated in the Seniors. The UAE’s Rayan Ahmad led his team to a standout performance, securing third place in the Men’s Team event. Morocco’s Youssef El Hali dominated the Men’s individual competition with a 16-under total of 200, narrowly edging out Egypt’s Issa Amr Abouelela, who closed with a spectacular 63. In the Seniors, Saudi Arabia’s Prince Khalid Al Faisal claimed the individual title by a single stroke over Bahrain’s Hamad Mubarak. The championship also featured the AGF’s General Assembly, where national representatives reviewed progress and elected a new Board of Directors, signaling a new era for Arab golf. Looking ahead, Ahmad is set to compete in the Faldo Junior Tour European Grand Final and the Tommy Fleetwood Pathway Series, aiming to build on his recent success.
