Morocco completed a clean sweep of all four titles at the 2026 edition of the 45th Arab Men’s and 17th Arab Women’s Golf Championships in Doha.

Reda El Hali turned an outstanding week into a wire-to-wire victory in the men’s individual event and the Moroccan team reclaimed the men’s crown on the final day.

With the women’s individual it was Maria Harrouch turning a six-shot deficit into a share of the lead with a closing 67, then held her nerve in a three-player playoff to claim the 17th Pan Arab Ladies’ Golf Championship.

In the men’s department it was Morocco’s Reda El Hali’s Pan Arab Golf Championship securing victory in leading from start to finish in capturing the men’s title

El Hali took the lead with a five-under-par 67 in the opening round and never relinquished it, remaining at the top of the leaderboard through all four rounds.

He closed with a final-round 72 to finish the championship at 10 under par, six shots clear of the field.

Qatar’s Saleh Ali Al Kaabi produced a strong finish, returning a final-round 71 to secure second place at four under while the UAE’s Sam Mullane completed the podium at three under, with compatriot Jonathan Selvaraj fourth at one under.

And the Moroccan men claimed the team title by six shots thanks and with runners-up the UAE at one over par.

Harrouch began the final day at two over par for the championship, six shots behind compatriot Rim Imni, who was setting the pace at four under.

With Doha Golf Club playing to a par of 73, Harrouch carded a six-under-par 67 to finish the 54-hole regulation competition at four under. It was enough to pull her level with Imni and the UAE’s Intissar Rich, whose closing round was also four under.

Three players, one total and a title still to be decided: the leaderboard could not separate Harrouch, Imni and Rich at the end of regulation.

In the end it was Harrouch who went on to win the playoff, completing a final-day turnaround that few would have predicted from her position at the halfway point. Her 67 was not simply the low number on the card; it changed the destination of the individual crown.

As well, it also changed the destination of the Individual trophy to Morocco.
