Sheikh Sultan also stressed the need to educate young players, promote sportsmanship, and foster cooperation across all segments of the football community-from players to administrative and technical staff, as well as the fans-so that matches are held in a way that pleases everyone.

This came during Sheikh Dr. Sultan's reception, on Tuesday, at Al Badi’ Palace for the Sharjah Football Club’s team, following their victory in the AFC Champions League 2, after defeating Singapore's Lion City Sailors 2-1.

Sheikh Sultan directed that the team of Sharjah Football Club be awarded Dhs20 million in recognition of their historic achievement-winning the AFC Champions League 2 title for the first time in the club’s history and the history of the UAE.

Sheikh Sultan congratulated the players of the team, along with the administrative and technical staff, on winning the club's first Asian title-an accomplishment that marks a historic moment for the club and for Emirati football.

Sheikh Sultan said, “We congratulate the officials of the UAE, the Emirati people, and all residents in the country on this victory that came after years of anticipation. We hope this joy continues with upcoming wins by the UAE national team.”
