Bin Suwaidan pointed out that the accumulation of experience among falconers over the past years contributed to raising their level of technical awareness, and gave them a greater ability to evaluate the capabilities of birds and choose the most appropriate rounds for each falcon, whether in the symbol rounds, the golden burqa rounds, or the cash rounds. He said that the falconer who participates with a number of birds has become acutely aware of the strengths and distinctions of each falcon, which is reflected in the good selection of rounds and participation in categories that suit their abilities, which explains the strong levels of competition witnessed this season.
Bin Suwaidan welcomed participants from inside and outside the country, stressing that the Fazza Championships are characterized by their openness to everyone, and the comfortable and integrated competitive environment they provide. He explained that the preparation of the tournament site at the headquarters of the Hamdan Bin Mohammed Center for the Revival of Heritage was carried out according to the highest standards, while providing various means of comfort, and keeping pace with technological development through smart facilities that allow participants to follow their participation schedules and round times via the “F3” electronic application, giving them greater flexibility and broader enjoyment of the atmosphere.
