    Arab Women’s Sailing Championship 2026 to Be Held in Oman

    Muscat (ONA) — The Sultanate of Oman will host the 3rd edition of the Arab Women’s Sailing Championship from 15–21 October 2026. Organized by Oman Sail in co-operation with Oman Maritime Sports Committee and the Arab Sailing Federation, the event will bring together over 30 female sailors from across the region to compete in Optimist, ILCA 4 and ILCA 6 at Barceló Mussanah Resort.

    The regatta will be part of Oman Sail’s 15th edition of Mussanah Race Week, further establishing the event as one of the region’s premier sailing festivals and reinforcing Oman as a vibrant hub for competitive women’s maritime sports.

    Hosting this championship marks a natural next step for Oman Sail and builds directly upon the national team’s impressive performance at the previous two editions.

    In Bahrain in 2024, Hadeel Al Mushaifri won a bronze medal in the Optimist class, while in Kuwait last year Tarteel Al Hasni won silver in the Optimist category, Hadeel Al Mushaifri followed up her success the previous year by finishing third in the ILCA 4 to take bronze while Ibtisam Al Salmi won bronze in the ILCA 6 competition.

    Abdul Aziz Salim Al Shidi, Oman Sail’s Acting Director of Sailing, said, “Hosting the 3rd Arab Women’s Sailing Championship is a momentous occasion for Oman Sail that underscores our commitment to elevating women’s sports across the region. Following our team’s fantastic performances in the past two editions, bringing this event to home waters at Barceló Mussanah Resort gives our athletes a familiar platform to compete at the highest level. We are confident that our infrastructure, combined with the determination of our sailors, will make this an unforgettable championship that inspires the next generation of female maritime talent.”

    Sheikh Khalifa Abdullah Al Khalifa President of the Arab Sailing Federation Stated: “We are delighted to see the Arab Women’s Sailing Championship continue to grow and bring together sailors from across the Arab world.

    The Oman Sail Women’s Sailing programme stands as a powerful example of how a sports initiative can be strategically aligned with the national development goals outlined in Oman Vision 2040.
