Set to take place from July 26 to August 11, the upcoming Paris Olympics 2024 will feature over 10,000 athletes competing in 329 medal events across 32 sports. As the first fully gender-equal Olympics, Paris 2024 is a milestone for women athletes, particularly from the MENA region.

From the Arab world’s first horse eventing qualifier to the first-ever female nationals from the UAE and Saudi Arabia to compete in the Olympics, these are just a few of the many inspiring MENA women to cheer for at the Games!

While we can’t cover every incredible MENA athlete, we’re thrilled to cheer on this amazing lineup and see them make history at the Olympics!
