Rashed Al Falasi, a UAE content creator, publicly shared how Sheikh Ahmed bin Rashid Al Maktoum of Dubai supported his family for years.
Al Falasi explained that Sheikh Ahmed paid for his father’s medical treatment abroad and consistently checked on his condition. The Sheikh’s generosity extended to the Bakhit Salem family, who were involved in the founding of Al Wasl Sports Club in 1960, and to residents of the area where they lived.
Sheikh Ahmed also provided long-term support to the young daughter of Dr Mohammed Ismail, a manager at Al Wasl’s swimming academy who died in 2021. He directed the club to continue paying Ismail’s salary to his family until his daughter turned 18, demonstrating care for employees and their families. Ahmed Al Tenaiji, President of Al Wasl Football Company, described Sheikh Ahmed as a father figure who offered guidance and support.
Al Tenaiji and others mourned Sheikh Ahmed after his death at age 76, noting his lasting impact on the Za’abeel community and Al Wasl Sports Club. Dubai observed ten days of mourning following his passing.
