Sharjah Sports provides extensive coverage for President's Cup
Coverage begins on Tuesday, May 6, and runs until Saturday, May 10. The channel has built up a large-scale outdoor studio at Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium, complete with professional cameras and equipment, to capture every element of the final, from team preparations to the grand finale, providing viewers with a comprehensive and polished viewing experience.
"Our Stadiums" from Sharjah landmarks
"Our Stadiums" leads the daily programming, which is broadcast from major tourist destinations in Sharjah, such as Al Layyah Canal and Kalba City.
The show includes technical and analytical segments, as well as surveys of fan opinion and an exploration of the pre-match atmosphere. On match night, a special episode will air from Abu Dhabi. Meanwhile, "From the Emirates" provides in-depth field coverage with previous stars from both clubs, as well as behind-the-scenes reports from training camps.
Exclusive interviews and fan interactions

"Sports Line" invites fans to submit their thoughts and forecasts, with input from club representatives and supporters.
Documentaries about cup history and finals
The channel will run a unique documentary series on the history of the UAE President's Cup from its creation, as well as episodes tracking the adventures of Sharjah and Shabab Al Ahli in the current edition. Both clubs have won ten titles each, and the victor of this final will create a new record.
Human-centred entertaining
Channel has also reserved interactive periods for fans, including light-hearted and spontaneous shows hosted by Ali Al Kalbani and segments hosted by Mohammed Omran that highlight behind-the-scenes preparations and the human element of the match-day experience.
Digital content on social media
Coverage will be rounded up with ongoing online content published on the channel's main social media platforms — before, during, and after the match — to keep the sports audience engaged in every moment and emotion of the game.
