The “Sports Before Iftar” initiative kicked off in style on Saturday, March 1, 2025, at Al Hamriyah Beach, drawing an impressive crowd of fitness enthusiasts eager to embrace an active Ramadan. Set to run throughout the holy month, the event promises a dynamic blend of community spirit and physical well-being in a stunning beachfront setting.

Organized by the Al Hamriyah Cultural and Sports Club and overseen by the Sharjah Sports Council, the event will be held every Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday throughout the Holy Month.

This programme encourages participants to engage in physical activities such as walking and some body workouts from 5 to 6 pm, allowing individuals to earn rewards while staying fit as they prepare for their Iftar during Ramadan.

With a target of attracting at least 15,000 residents, the initiative highlights the importance of maintaining physical health and community engagement during the holy month. 

Participants who meet the established criteria will be eligible for cash prizes, providing an added incentive for those committed to improving their fitness levels. 

Ahmed Al Shamsi, Executive Director of Al Hamriyah Club, acknowledged the Sharjah Sports Council’s pivotal role in supporting the initiative, underscoring the club’s commitment to fostering an active lifestyle during the holy month.

He emphasised the broader impact of sports on both individual well-being and the wider community as the event continues to gain momentum.

The opening session saw participants engage in a series of structured exercises led by trainers from the Al Hamriyah Club gym, providing an opportunity to stay active ahead of Iftar.
