Falcons in the Farkh category, including Jeer Shaheen, Jeer Tibah, Pure Jeer, and Qarmousha, that secure top placements in the Symbol and Golden Burqa rounds, as well as the premier spots in the Cash rounds of the Fazza Championship for Falconry – Telwah, will earn their places in the Fazza Falcons Racing Cup.

The championship boasts a total prize pool of AED 2.8 million. Furthermore, the three top-performing falcons from the Farkh category in the Fazza Falcons Racing Cup will qualify for the concluding stages of the Mohammed bin Rashid Falcons Cup.
