FUJAIRAH: The Fujairah Tennis & Country Club (FTCC) has received international recognition from the International Tennis Federation (ITF) for its efforts in advancing gender parity in professional tennis.
Andrew Moss, Executive Director of the ITF World Tennis Tour and Data Rights, visited the club during an ongoing ITF World Tennis Tour women’s event to personally present a Recognition Memento to the club’s leadership. The award acknowledges FTCC’s “efforts and excellence in promoting gender parity in professional tennis on the ITF World Tennis Tour.”
During his visit, Moss met with Abdul Ghafour Behroozian, Chairman of Fujairah Tennis & Country Club, Hania Reggi, General Manager and Tournament Director, along with other senior club officials and event organizers.
The recognition comes as Fujairah hosts a major women’s professional tournament offering USD 75,000 in prize money, attracting top international players and further strengthening the emirate’s growing reputation on the global tennis circuit.
Club officials said the award reflects FTCC’s long-term commitment to providing equal opportunities for female athletes and delivering world-class facilities and tournament standards.
“We are honoured to receive this recognition from the ITF,” a club representative said. “It reinforces our mission to support equality in sport and to position Fujairah as a leading destination for international professional tennis.”
