“It is clear that the young falconers
have dedicated a lot of time to training their falcons this year creating
stronger competition. We also decided to host the championship during the
weekend and school midterm holidays ensuring participants had a longer time to
prepare and train their falcons. The range in age has also been wonderful to
witness with one winner as young as 4 years old and the youngest in the
tournament – and we must also thank the parents of these talented young men for
all of their dedication and support.
Dumaithan bin Swaidan, head of the Organising
Committee for the Fazza Championships for Falconry added: “Congratulations to
all the young people who took part and we have strived to make the championship
a success especially for the juniors, to build the right infrastructure and
look forward to even higher numbers of participants in the future.”
