"The Jiu-Jitsu President's Cup, along with the Jiu-Jitsu Vice President's Cup and the Mother of The Nation Jiu-Jitsu Cup, is one of the most important jiu-jitsu events on the local scene," said Baniyas coach Iuri Alves. 

 "The local clubs come out in full force to compete in the Jiu-Jitsu President's Cup, fighting for the top spots in the competitions, which are very intense as all the clubs participate with their best athletes.

It also shows where our country has reached in terms of top level jiu-jitsu. I can't wait to take part in the championship and make my club, Al Wahda, proud."
