Championing the future of UAE boxing, built on the same discipline that drives exceptional trading performance.
Daman Markets, a leading financial services provider, has announced its official sponsorship of the UAE Boxing Federation. The partnership was formalised at a signing ceremony held on 29 June 2026 in Dubai, bringing Daman Markets on board as a supporter of one of the region’s premier national sporting bodies.
Through this collaboration, Daman Markets aims to support the development of UAE sport by investing in a stronger sporting ecosystem and helping ensure UAE boxing continues to produce world-class athletes for generations to come.
A nation that competes and wins
Sport in the UAE has grown significantly in recent years, with athletes across disciplines making their mark on the global stage. Their success reflects sustained investment, long-term planning, and a strong culture of ambition.
The UAE’s strong performance in sport reflects an integrated system built on talent identification, world-class infrastructure, sports science, and international partnerships that provide athletes with every possible advantage. Officials and sporting bodies across the country have emphasised that this is only the beginning.
In the UAE’s corner
For Daman Markets, the success of UAE sport is something worth celebrating and supporting. The company believes sport, at every level, is one of the most powerful investments a community can make — building character, creating pathways for young talent, instilling lifelong values, and fostering national pride that extends far beyond medals or podium finishes.
That belief has brought Daman Markets into the UAE’s sporting corner. The sponsorship reflects a commitment to backing athletes, coaches, and federations with partners who share their values and are invested in their success.
Trading and boxing: more alike than they seem
Within UAE sport, boxing holds a special significance for Daman Markets. Both fields demand similar qualities from those involved: discipline, preparation, the ability to read situations, manage risk, and make decisions under pressure.
Whether analysing a trade or preparing for a match, the fundamentals remain the same. Success belongs to those who show up consistently, put in the work, and perform when it matters most.
“Boxing has always commanded respect because there are no shortcuts. The preparation, the focus, and the determination to keep going are as much human values as they are sporting ones,” said Samer Mourched, CEO of Daman Markets. “These values are at the heart of what we do at Daman Markets, and we are proud to support UAE boxing and invest in the athletes, coaches, and communities shaping the future of the sport.”
For both organisations, the partnership reflects a shared set of values. The federation has spent years developing champions, promoting excellence, and advancing boxing across the UAE. Daman Markets sees a natural alignment with this mission, grounded in a shared drive for performance and long-term growth.
Making excellence possible
This partnership reflects Daman Markets’ commitment to supporting the sporting ecosystem of the nation it calls home. It is about standing with the UAE — in sport, in the community, and in the development of a country that continues to punch above its weight and exceed expectations on the global stage.
Championing UAE sport is a key part of that commitment, and one that the team at Daman Markets is genuinely proud to uphold.
