Starting from August 1st, 2026, coinciding with the start of the Tour de France Femmes, UAE Team ADQ will enter a new phase of its history by adopting the name UAE Team L'IMAD, a testament to the continued growth of one of the most respected and successful teams in women's professional cycling.

The transition to UAE Team L'IMAD follows the integration of ADQ into L'IMAD and reflects the ongoing development and evolution of a sporting project born in the United Arab Emirates with the goal of promoting women's cycling at the highest levels.

Over the past four years, the team has achieved extraordinary results on the international stage, gaining global recognition and consolidating its position among the best formations in the UCI Women's WorldTour. Among the most prestigious achievements are the victory at the Giro d'Italia Women, triumphs in some of the most important Classics on the international calendar, stage wins at the Tour de France Femmes, national and continental titles, and numerous outstanding performances in the global racing calendar.

Melissa Moncada, President of UAE Team L'IMAD, stated: "We are deeply grateful and proud to have the long-term support of such an important partner as L'IMAD. As the organization continues its path of growth and international expansion, it has renewed its commitment to our team and our project. Together we want to continue contributing to the development of women's cycling, both globally and in the United Arab Emirates. Our name changes, but our vision, our philosophy, and our ambitions remain exactly the same."

 Throughout the season, the team's colors and jersey will remain unchanged from those used in competition so far. However, during the 2026 Tour de France Femmes, which will start in Switzerland on August 1st, UAE Team L'IMAD will present a special edition jersey inspired by the falcon of the United Arab Emirates, a symbol of vision, speed, precision, and leadership.

Alongside sporting success, the team has played a fundamental role in the growth of cycling in the United Arab Emirates through its development pathway, creating concrete opportunities for local talent to grow and compete at the highest levels of international cycling.

L'IMAD is the sovereign wealth fund of the Abu Dhabi Government, committed to strengthening the economic foundations built by the Emirate. Rooted in Abu Dhabi's tradition of prudent and strategic capital management, L'IMAD administers a portfolio of national and international investments in public and private markets.

Guardian of wealth intended for future generations, L'IMAD operates with a long-term vision, institutional rigor, and investment discipline, with the objective of generating sustainable financial returns and promoting the development of strategic sectors on a large scale.
