No1 Events has delivered the full creative and technical production for the Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Ramadan Al Wathba Championship 2026, a multi‑sport community celebration held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Presidential Court of the UAE. The championship opened on 23rd February and will run through 17th March 2026 during the Holy Month of Ramadan, featuring 15 sporting disciplines and a prize pool of AED 10 million for participants and spectators.
No1 Events’ creative team developed all custom visual content from concept to completion within ten days of confirmation, producing high‑resolution 24,000‑pixel visuals coordinated with live performance cues, drone sequences and fireworks for the opening segment. A three‑day rehearsal schedule supported more than 600 performers across opening ceremonies and cultural presentations that celebrated Emirati heritage and community engagement.
On the infrastructure front, 1,800 grandstand seats were assembled in four days by Apex Scaffolding to meet audience capacity and safety requirements. The technical setup included more than 30 projectors, laser systems and special effects provided by MediaPro International Middle East, integrated into the show’s cue sequence, alongside over 300 lighting fixtures and more than 40 speakers deployed and operated by No1 Events’ technical team.
The championship programme encompasses a wide range of sports including football, beach volleyball, 3×3 basketball, tug of war, running, cycling, chess, jiu‑jitsu, judo, muay Thai, padel, table tennis, badminton and traditional Emirati wrestling, with registration approaching 5,000 participants across disciplines and the football category reaching full capacity of 64 teams shortly after opening. Daily raffles and prizes continue throughout Ramadan for attendees, with each festival entry ticket serving as an entry into draws for luxury vehicles, airline tickets, shopping vouchers and entertainment packages.
The production was completed on schedule, reflecting the coordinated planning between No1 Events’ creative, technical, and operations teams and the championship’s organising partners.
