The UAE Jiu-Jitsu Federation has announced that closure of registration for the fourth round of the Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Jiu-Jitsu Championship, with over 2,200 participants enlisting for the Gi event.
The competition will take place at Zayed Sports Complex in Fujairah from October 11 to 13. The organising committee confirmed that registrations were closed three days before the deadline due to increased demand for participation and reaching the championship's full capacity.
Fahad Al Shamsi, Secretary General of the UAEJJF, said the Championship's presence in the Northern Emirate "is crucial for the clubs and academies competing for the championship's title. It offers a unique opportunity for teams to advance in the rankings ahead of the final round, which will take place in Abu Dhabi this December."
He added: "As we approach the final round, every point earned becomes even more valuable. The competition for the top spots intensifies, with athletes determined to deliver their best performances to secure their chances of leading the race and ultimately claiming the title."
