Abu Dhabi, UAE, July 28, 2026: Ahead of the 2026 Tour de France Femmes, which begins in Switzerland on 1 August, UAE Team L’IMAD will unveil a special edition jersey inspired by one of the most iconic symbols of the United Arab Emirates, the “Falcon of the Emirates.”
Manufactured by Pissei, the jersey reflects the team’s commitment to heritage and sporting ambition. Inspired by the falcon, the jersey brings an expression of Emirati identity to the Tour de France Femmes. The design incorporates themes of vision, speed, precision, courage and leadership, qualities associated with both the falcon and the demands of elite competition.
The jersey features layered colors and abstract patterns inspired by the movement of a falcon in flight. A wing motif extends across the rider’s shoulder, creating a visual connection between one of the UAE’s most recognizable national symbols and the team.
Inspired by the same precision and preparation that define UAE Team L’IMAD’s approach to racing, the design brings together performance and heritage in a contemporary expression of the team’s identity.
Making its debut at the Tour de France Femmes, the jersey will showcase a symbol of Emirati heritage at one of the most prestigious events in women’s cycling.
