The first-place winner will receive a trophy and a gold medal; the second-place winner will be awarded a silver medal; and the third-place winner will receive a bronze medal.

Noura expressed her wishes for the success of the championship, hoping to discover talented players to be added to the club's list of players.

She pointed out that the championship would be closely monitored by Sharjah Women's Sports’ officials, the club's technical team, and experts to identify talents that can be utilised in the future
