UAE's Ghadeer looks to inspire next generation
Gulf Today
|September 30, 2025
When Ghadeer Ali Altahri stood on the podium of GCC Youth Games in Fujairah last April, gold medal in hand, she wasn't just celebrating a personal milestone.
-
She had become the first Emirati woman to win a badminton gold medal, a moment she says changed everything.
"After I won, so many young players came to me and said, 'We want to be like you," Ghadeer remembers.
"It made me proud but also gave me responsibility. I don't just play for myself now - I want to inspire them too."
That motivation drives the teenager as she gears up for the Al Ain Masters 2025, starting on Tuesday. Ghadeer will partner Farah Alhajji in women's doubles and team up with Nasser Alsayegh in mixed doubles, aiming to deliver a performance that inspires the next generation.
"I'm proud to represent Emirati women," she says. "This tournament is special because it's at home — my family, friends, and even schoolchildren will be watching. If they see us play and feel inspired to pick up a racket, then I've already won, no matter the result."
