The UAE Falcon Federation, in collaboration with Abu Dhabi Falconers Club, organises the Preliminary Telwah Racing Competitions for the 2026/2027 season at Al Falah Track in Abu Dhabi. These competitions form part of ongoing efforts to support falconry and preserve this longstanding heritage as an integral part of the cultural identity of the United Arab Emirates. The competitions are held over two rounds:

First Round: Held over four days from 4 to 7 November 2026, with races covering a distance of 300 metres.

Second Round: Held over four days from 18 to 21 November 2026, with races covering a distance of 400 metres. This round also includes two additional heats for the Farm-Produced Hur and Farm-Produced Shaheen categories within the Public category.
