Excellence in Sustainability

This category recognises organisations, events, or initiatives within the Middle East sports industry that have demonstrated exemplary commitment to sustainable practices. Judges will evaluate entries based on the scope, effectiveness, and innovation of sustainability measures—whether through environmental stewardship, responsible resource management, community involvement, or social impact programmes.

Submissions should highlight tangible outcomes, such as reduced carbon footprints, improved waste management, increased awareness of sustainability issues, or enhanced social responsibility initiatives.

Key considerations include measurable progress toward set sustainability goals, stakeholder engagement (including fans, partners, and local communities), and the ability to inspire broader change within the sports ecosystem. Entrants are encouraged to provide data, case studies, and testimonials that showcase how their dedication to sustainability has delivered meaningful, long-term benefits.

The nominated organisation, entity, club, or individual must be present in one of the following Middle Eastern countries: UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, and or Syria and must have used the tech between 1st January 2024 – 31st December 2024.
