Al Nasr players steal the show at Dubai Open

Dubai: Players from Al Nasr Club delivered a series of impressive performances at the conclusion of the Dubai Open Badminton Academies Tournament, held in collaboration with the Dubai Sports Council, the UAE Badminton Federation and operational partner Prime Star Sports Academy. The tournament is part of the Council’s wider efforts to develop young sporting talent and foster a culture of excellence and physical activity across the emirate. A crowd favourite was the exhibition match between five-year-olds Ryan Sreejith and Ayaan Mehta — a symbolic moment celebrating early talent discovery, aligning with the Dubai Sports Council’s long-term vision.

Council and organisers celebrate success Ahmed Salem Al Mahri, Director of Sports Talent Development at the Dubai Sports Council, said: “This tournament reflects our commitment to empowering future generations of athletes. We aim to provide platforms where young talents can compete, grow, and represent the UAE on a global stage. The level of participation and organisation in this edition showcases the success of our strategic partnerships with clubs and academies.
