The UAE Girls Under-16 Team successfully defended their title at the 2024 Pan Arab Ladies and Youth Golf Championships, led by standout performer Anca Mateiu at The Residences Golf Course in Gammarth.
In addition to clinching the team gold, Mateiu, along with teammates Aasiya Saleem and Sara Abubaker, dominated the individual standings, winning Gold, Silver, and Bronze, respectively.
In the Ladies' Division, Intissarr Rich was the pick of the bunch for Team UAE, securing Silver, while Jamie Camero took Bronze after a countback. These strong individual performances, combined with Faye Alblooshi’s fifth-place finish, helped the Ladies’ Team earn the Silver Medal, finishing just behind Morocco.
Both championships were contested over 54 holes, with the best two scores from each team counting towards the final result.
The Championships also included a Girls Under-13 Division, where Morocco claimed both the Gold and Bronze individual medals, while the hosts Tunisia secured Silver.
Attention now shifts to the Boys Under-18 and Boys Under-16 Divisions, which will take place over the next three days.
