The UAE under-21 jiu-jitsu team opened the 2025 World Championships in Bangkok with a seven-medal haul: two gold, three silver and two bronze.

The championships cover under-16, under-18 and under-21 categories and run through Nov. 14 in Bangkok.
Coverage Differences
Missed information / level of detail
Menafn and Arab News PK provide full medalist names and weights and explicitly name the event dates and categories, while Arab News gives the medal count and tournament dates but does not list individual medalists in its brief report.
UAE jiu-jitsu success factors
Officials and athletes framed the performance as proof of the UAE’s jiu-jitsu development pathway and team cohesion.
Menafn quotes UAEJJF technical director Mubarak Al Menhali praising the national development system and teamwork behind the results.
Arab News PK similarly reports Al-Menhali’s praise and records gold medallist Rashed Alshehhi citing determination, school beginnings and family support as key factors behind his win.
Coverage Differences
Tone / source emphasis
Menafn foregrounds institutional praise (UAEJJF technical director) and the role of sponsorship, while Arab News PK reiterates those institutional comments and expands on the athlete’s personal remarks. Arab News’s short report does not include these direct quotes, offering a briefer, more factual tone.
Bangkok Youth Championships
Reports agree on the logistics of the event.
The world championships run from Nov. 12–14 in Bangkok across multiple youth categories.
The under-21 women's division is scheduled for Nov. 13, where the UAE planned to contest further medals.
Arab News PK and Menafn both mention the schedule explicitly.
Arab News lists the tournament dates as well but in a shorter form.
Coverage Differences
Narrative / scheduling detail
Menafn explicitly states the championships run Nov. 12–14 and notes the under‑21 women’s division on Nov. 13; Arab News PK repeats those scheduling details. Arab News mentions the dates more succinctly and does not enumerate the women’s schedule or athlete names.
Unique / off-topic coverage
Arab News PK includes an off‑topic sports note about golf — coverage not present in the Menafn or Arab News jiu‑jitsu reports — indicating broader sports roundup formatting in that source.
UAE jiu-jitsu coverage
The three regional reports collectively present a West Asian perspective that praises the UAE's youth jiu-jitsu depth and the national development model that produced seven medals in Bangkok.
All three sources focus on results and local reactions rather than external rankings or opponent details, so assessments of the team's global standing beyond the podium finishes remain unclear from these reports alone.
Coverage Differences
Omission / scope
All available sources are West Asian and emphasize UAE success and internal praise; none provide international reaction, opponent-level analysis, or wider ranking context — an omission that shapes a uniformly positive, national-development narrative.
