“Year of the 50th” Medals
Dubai Sports Council, meanwhile, has announced all the participants in this year’s Nad Al Sheba Sports Tournament will receive its newly-minted “Year of the 50th” medals, which commemorate UAE’s Golden Jubilee and celebrate the country’s remarkable journey of the last 50 years since its formation in 1971.
The new medals are a continuation of Dubai Sports Council’s initiative to celebrate the UAE and Dubai, including it iconic landmarks and heroes. Last year, the Council had minted medals that celebrated the efforts of Dubai’s frontline heroes in the fight to contain COVID-19 – Dubai Police, Dubai Civil Defence, Dubai Health Authority and the First Responders of Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services.
In the past, Dubai Sports Council’s medals have featured some of the most famous cultural and tourist landmarks of Dubai like the Dubai Frame and Burj Khalifa, the Museum of the Future and the Mohammed Bin Rashid Library, alongside Hamdan Sports Complex, Tolerance Bridge and the Al Marmoom Conservation Reserve.
