World Endurance Championship, upholds the individual title in the 18th edi-

tion, which will be held in Butheeb, and he raises the slogan of retaining the
title in the homeland.

houf, and he worked hard to achieve it by participating continuously in the

rides during the UAE riding season. As he performed in very good levels
during competitions and succeeded in qualifying to participate in interna-
tional events, including this prestigious title.

Rider of major occasions and

has a record full of achieve-
ments in international tour-

naments. He gave the UAE

ary 2019, and he also won

sistently presented, whether
