It is a great pleasure to celebrate the silver jubilee of Fujairah International Marine Club and reflect on the achievements of the last 25 years. The success of FIMC has been led by His Highness Sheikh Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi, Member of the Supreme Council of UAE Rulers of Fujairah, and continued support has been given by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi, Crown Prince of Fujairah.

Through H.H. Saif\u2019s leadership, FIMC has continued to grow and become a prominent marina in the UAE and globally. A special thanks to Mr. Mohammed Saeed Al Dhahani, Director of the Emiri Court and vice president of FIMC, for his continued support.

In its first year, 1999, FIMC successfully hosted the Class 1 World Powerboat Championship; as such, it became the main station for holding major rounds annually. Due to this success, Fujairah was chosen to host other major tournaments, including Formula boats, Jet Ski racing, rowing, etc. It was further recognized by international organizations as it was chosen to host the centenary ceremony of UIM in 2022. This event was the destination of the world and an affirmation of the club\u2019s global status.

The Fujairah International Marine Sports Club has played a major role in developing tourism. The activities and tournaments attract many tourists of different nationalities, especially in the major tournaments that are organized. We find that tourists always praise Fujairah and its distinguished location on the coast.

While we are experiencing this joy, we would like to show our appreciation to the partners of the Fujairah International Marine Club, from government departments, national institutions, and government agencies to the General Sports Authority, the National Olympic Committee, the National Federation, and clubs, without exception, for all the support and assistance they provided that made success possible for the United Arab Emirates.<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
