The UIM MotoSurf World Championship 2025 Fujairah Grand Prix officially launched on April 12, bringing 80 talented athletes from around the world to the Fujairah Corniche for one of the most anticipated water sports events of the season.
Opening Day: Qualifiers, Speed Races, and Time Trials
On the first day, contestants took part in qualifying rounds followed by speed races and time trials that determined which racers would advance further in the championship. The Fujairah GP is regarded as one of MotoSurf's premier contests, and the emirate's ability to stage a fully sanctioned international event over three days underscores its growing reputation on the global marine sports calendar.
Competitors race across multiple divisions, with events designed to evaluate both raw speed and technical proficiency on motorized surfboards. The spectacular coastal setting at the Fujairah Corniche has drawn top competitors, local fans, and international tourists to the beachfront throughout the championship.
Fujairah Strengthens Its Marine Sports Identity
These competitions continue to cement Fujairah's position as an important marine sports hub for the Middle East. The emirate's modern facilities, ideal coastal conditions, and sustained commitment to high-profile events have steadily built global confidence in its ability to host world-class water sports.
The successful organisation of the event reflects a close partnership between Fujairah's local government departments and international sports organisations. Through hosting diverse events that appeal to broad audiences, Fujairah is advancing its long-term strategy of attracting international tourism, encouraging sports participation, and strengthening global ties.
Two More Days of Racing at the Corniche
The public can look forward to two further days of racing action, venue activities, and cultural programming at the Corniche, with the schedule continuing from April 13. The event also serves to promote Fujairah's scenic landscapes and welcoming atmosphere to international tourists and visiting media.
The UIM MotoSurf World Championship carries full sanction from the Union Internationale Motonautique — the global governing body for powerboat sports and water motor sports — lending the Fujairah GP the highest level of international credibility and further solidifying the emirate's place on the world marine sports map.
