The United Arab Emirates was set to compete at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, which were held from 19 to 27 August 2023. The athlete delegation of the country was composed of one competitor, long-distance runner Alia Saeed Mohammed who was set to compete in the women's marathon. At the event, Mohammed did not start the race and was thus unranked.
The 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, were held from 19 to 27 August 2023. The Championships were held at the National Athletics Centre.[1] To qualify for the World Championships, athletes had to reach an entry standard (e.g. time or distance), place in a specific position at select competitions, be a wild card entry, or qualify through their World Athletics Ranking at the end of the qualification period.[2]
As the United Arab Emirates did not meet any of the four standards, they could send either one male or one female athlete in one event of the Championships who has not yet qualified.[2] The UAE Athletics Federation selected long-distance runner Alia Saeed Mohammed who had previously competed for the nation at the 2011 World Championships in Athletics held in Daegu, South Korea, and the 2015 World Championships in Athletics held in Beijing, China.[3][4]
