Safe summer and strong values celebrated in Dibba Al Hisn
The session took place yesterday morning at the club's theatre in collaboration with the General Directorate of Civil Defence and was led by First Assistant Ahmed Mohammed Al Hammadi. The workshop focused on essential safety and prevention measures to be followed during the summer holiday. It highlighted responsible practices at home and in public spaces and emphasised actions to avoid—especially those that could endanger children and youth. The programme also featured a diverse range of workshops and activities aimed at deepening national identity, raising environmental and social awareness, and instilling positive values in young participants. Through these activities, Dibba Al Hisn Club continues to promote its vision of creating a safe, educational, and engaging summer environment—blending culture, learning, and sport to nurture a generation with strong community values and a sense of belonging. The week's events included an art workshop titled 'Cup Painting' led by artist Maryam Abdulrahman Al Hammoudi, in collaboration with the Sharjah Institute for Heritage – Dibba Al Hisn branch. Participants explored the beauty of Emirati folk art and learned how to use traditional symbols in their creative expression, while decorating cups with personal and cultural motifs. In addition, a Quran recitation workshop was held in the club's mosque, in collaboration with the Sharjah Islamic Affairs Office. Delivered by Sheikh Mohammed Oglad, the session taught participants correct pronunciation, articulation rules, and the fundamentals of Tajweed, aiming to deepen their religious understanding and Quranic knowledge in an interactive setting. The week also included traditional and sports activities such as football, swimming, chess, and carrom. These not only developed the children's physical and mental skills but also encouraged teamwork, healthy competition, and cooperation in a safe and motivating space. At the end of the week, His Excellency Dr Mohammed Ahmed Al Matoua, Chairman of the Dibba Al Hisn Cultural and Sports Club, honoured a number of outstanding and committed participants in recognition of their active engagement and consistent attendance.

Tadej Pogačar conquers Hautacam to reclaim Tour de France Yellow Jersey
PARIS, 18th July, 2025 (WAM) -- Producing one of the finest displays of his career, UAE Team Emirates-XRG's Tadej Pogačar put his rivals to the sword on the Hautacam, winning stage 12 of the Tour de France and reclaiming the Yellow Jersey. Putting more than two minutes into the next-best rider, Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike), Pogačar now leads the Tour de France by three and a half minutes. On the first summit finish of the race, Pogačar and his UAE Team Emirates-XRG colleagues produced a vintage show of teamwork, with every rider stepping up to the mark to help the Slovenian pick up his 20th stage victory at the Tour de France. In doing so, the Emirati squad put their rivals on the back foot and ensured that Pogačar is now the man to beat heading into the final nine stages. With his all-conquering efforts on Hautacam, Pogačar made history by becoming the first reigning world champion to win a Tour de France summit finish since the great Bernard Hinault in 1981. Coming less than 24 hours after the tragic death of the promising Hagens Berman Jayco rider, Samuele Privitera, Pogačar dedicated his victory to the young Italian who sadly passed away after a crash at the Valle d'Aosta.
