The Khorfakkan Cultural and Sports Club has launched its “Sports Week,” marking the final phase of the Sharjah Sports Summer Programme dubbed “Our Holiday is Different” for 2026. This initiative, organised by the Sharjah Sports Council, is designed to make the most of the summer holiday by nurturing youth skills and promoting a culture of sports as a way of life.
A Thriving Launch
The first day of the Sports Week was met with enthusiastic participation from club members, as a diverse range of activities took place in the sports hall. Events included football, badminton, basketball, and volleyball, all guided by specialised coaches. This not only helped in developing physical skills but also fostered a spirit of cooperation, healthy competition, and teamwork among the participants.
Fostering Creativity and Innovation
In addition to physical activities, participants engaged in intellectual and creative challenges such as chess competitions and workshops on designing and assembling architectural models. These activities aimed to enhance innovative thinking and refine mental skills, constituting a well-rounded programme that integrates sports, education, and entertainment.
Environmental Awareness Workshop
The club’s auditorium also hosted an informative workshop titled “We Listen… We Preserve… We Inspire,” organised in collaboration with Khorfakkan Municipality. This workshop highlighted the importance of environmental preservation, promoted recycling awareness, and embedded sustainable practices among participants through interactive and practical activities.
Commitment to Holistic Development
Abdullah Mohammed Bin Howaiden, a member of the Board of Directors at Khorfakkan Cultural and Sports Club and head of the programme’s organising committee, explained that Sports Week represents the culmination of the “Our Holiday is Different” programme. He noted the club’s dedication to providing quality programmes that combine physical activity with education and awareness, contributing to the development of a health-conscious, aware, and proactive generation.
Concluding a Successful Programme
The club has meticulously crafted a varied programme that aligns with the objectives of the Sharjah Sports Council to effectively use students’ free time during the summer break. The activities not only aim to unveil talents and develop abilities but also to strengthen positive values among the youth.
With the “Sports Week,” Khorfakkan Cultural and Sports Club concludes a series of themed weeks featured in the Sharjah Sports Summer Programme “Our Holiday is Different.” Previous weeks focusing on family, artificial intelligence, and Sharjah have garnered significant interest and interaction, demonstrating the programme’s success in fulfilling its community, educational, and sporting goals.
